This is a great introduction to the famous non-violent, radical, and prophetic black leader.

And he was a radical. Many white liberals at the time thought that if you just kept putting off the freedom struggle and accept injustice “for now”, then (maybe!) one day it’ll be easier and we’ll do it when it gets easy!

...................

Violence does not bear good fruit; (“do not destroy!” Crummell); but there is basically never progress without tension, and our comfort is not a divine right—really it is often not even any good at all.

.... Like Friedan, to take a parallel, he was kinda the nice radical, the radical who believed in love, the radical who respected everybody. But they were both still radicals. They wanted extreme change when America at large wanted “Pleasant Valley Sunday” and the cult of comfort.

.....................

What courage it is to take people in the midst of tragedy, and to tell them that tragedy is not senseless, that civilization is worth having, that metaphors are worth making, that wisdom has a way.

I have recently read the Taylor Branch books about Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. This made me hungry for his original words and thoughts.

Reading his original texts led to an appreciating of his skills as a thinker and writer. The man was truly a giant among men. (
