•Decidedly non-radical, reasonable leader, but passionate and inspiring
•Doctorate from Boston University in theology
•Believed civil rights would be won through Christian love and non-violent resistance
"If we are arrested every day, if we are exploited every day, if we are trampled every day, don't ever let anyone pull you so low as to hate them. We must use the weapon of love. We must have compassion and understanding for those who hate us. We must realize so many people are taught to hate us that they are not totally responsible for their hate."
--Martin Luther King
