Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes:
Ocupation: Civil rights activist
Life: January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968
Birthday: January 15
Death: April 4
Non-violent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored... I am not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly worked and preached against violent tension, and there is a type of constructive tension that is necessary for growth.
