The Power Of Non-violence

In this blog I will discuss what I was taught by a group of my class mates on the topic of The Power Of Non-Violence taken from the text "A Testament Of Hope" written by Martin Luther King Jr. The main objective of the passage "The Power of Non-Violence" was love. The idea of being non-violent worked because the white man was getting irritated by the black people that were following King's movement because they kept getting up from their "beat downs". The white man realized that being violent didn't seem to be working. They (the Afro-Americans) felt that if they didn't act using violence than maybe the white man would start to become non-violent, too. King felt as though love would over power evil because if God loves everyone than why can't we love everyone,too. Agape is the type of love that states that we should love the person that's doing the deed, but dislike the deed that they do. King's main objective was not to humiliate the white man but to befriend, create understanding and to win their hearts.
