Racial Oppression In America And The Nonviolent Revolution of Martin Luther King
On April 4, 1968 Martin Luther King, Junior was assassinated by a misguided racist in Memphis, Tennessee, at the peak of his nonviolent struggle for a better America and a better world, where justice, love and peace would reign, irrespective of race, colour or creed. As we watch so many nations of the world slide dangerously towards the precipice of the horrors and wickedness of hate, violence and war, some still small voices in us keep on reminding us that the bullet which silenced King and others like him threatened to shut off the conscience of humanity, and that those who believe that he stood for what is best in Christianity have a moral obligation to keep alive the spirit of King and to propagate the ideals and ideas for which he lived and died. In this book (an offshoot of a doctoral dissertation in Moral Theology, Rome), the author affirms that everybody has a moral obligation to struggle for freedom from all forms of social oppression. But to counteract the common proclivity to violence in the course of such a struggle, he characterizes Martin Luther King's nonviolent revolution as a model of liberation theology. By his ability to channel the black struggle for freedom into a creative nonviolent action, King profoundly awakened the moral conscience of America and of the world and compelled both to respect the blacks.
