Beginning with the argument of being an outsider, King replies that injustice in Birmingham affects those in other cities. Answering why he pursues direct action instead of negotiation, King says that direct action provides the necessary pressure for negotiation. In response to being asked why break some laws and obey others, King responds that, morally, just laws must be followed while unjust laws must be disobeyed. Replying to being called extreme, King states that he acts in moderation, lying between two opposite forces.]]> 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594637 Segregation Defies Justice rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594640 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594640 Postponement Halts Equality rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594643 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594643 Activism Yields Negotiation rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594646 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594646 Martin Luther King once declared, "Segregation, to use the terminology of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, substitutes an 'I-it' relationship for an 'I-thou' relationship and ends up relegating persons to the status of things. Hence segregation is not only politically, economically and sociologically unsound, it is morally wrong and awful" (3). rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594647 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594647 King had once said, "Nonviolent 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. ... Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood" (2). rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594649 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594649 The allusion referencing Martin Buber explains how segregation is unjust because it degrades the human personality to that of an object. rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594650 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594650 The allusion referencing Socrates explains how direct action is necessary in order to achieve negotiation just as tension is required in order to achieve truth. rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594652 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594652 The extended metaphor compares waiting for equality to using Thalidomide, a drug that was used for morning-sickness but resulted in birth defects, highlighting the hidden malice in waiting. rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594653 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594653 rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594658 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594658 rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594659 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594659 rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594661 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594661 NAMES: rjoshi1906 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594663 Rahel Joshi & Dennis Rogers ]]> 2020-10-08 16:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814594663 https://padlet.com/rjoshi1906/l249rp60leolbmsa/wish/814956587 Martin Luther King had once proclaimed, "This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.'
