“Though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Was not Amos an extremist for justice: “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.”

#DrKing was a great #civil-rights #leader, but he was more than that. He was a #political #revolutionary who summoned the #nation to “undergo a #radical #revolution of #values” to #overcome “the #giant #triplets of #extreme-materialism, #racism, and #militarism.” Never forget his #vision.
