“There comes a time when a moral man can't obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust.”
Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Work
This work presents the philosophical and ethical teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., the Baptist minister and civil rights leader who became a symbol of the movement for racial equality in the United States. Through his sermons, speeches, and writings, the volume explores principles of nonviolence, justice, and human dignity that defined King's approach to social change. The compilation draws from his profound speeches including the historic 'I Have a Dream' address delivered during the 1963 March on Washington, as well as his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance remarks and pastoral letters. King's commitment to Christian love and nonviolent resistance serves as the moral foundation for the teachings gathered in this collection, offering readers insight into the spiritual and ethical framework that guided his quest for civil rights and equality. more
