“We are challenged to rid our nation and the world of poverty….We must find an alternative to war and bloodshed….It is no longer a choice, my friends, between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or non existence…and the alternative to strengthening the United Nations and thereby disarming the whole world may well be a civilization plunged into the abyss of annihilation….”
–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., speaking at the Washington National Cathedral, March 31, 1968.
