God Must Have Something To Do With

When I Was 16, The Guest Speaker Was King. And I Was Completely Overwhelmed Because I Had Been Studying Nonviolence, Talking About It, Reading About It, But Here It Was Happening, Here It Was People Boycotting The Buses And People On The Streets And Taking Risks, Which I Think Was The Key.

Social Change Really Cannot Happen Unless People Are Willing To Take A Risk, And They Were. And I Was So Moved By That, And Of Course By The Way That He Spoke, That Made A Huge Dent In My Belief System And My Spirit.

If You're Gonna Sing Meaningful Songs, You Have To Be Committed To Living A Life That Backs That Up.

The Point Of Nonviolence Is To Build A Floor, A Strong New Floor, Beneath Which We Can No Longer Sink. A Platform Which Stands A Few Feet Above Napalm, Torture, Exploitation, Poison Gas, A And H Bombs, The Works. Give Man A Decent Place To Stand.

I Have Been True To The Principles Of Nonviolence, Developing A Stronger And Stronger Aversion To The Ideologies Of Both The Far Right And The Far Left And A Deeper Sense Of Rage And Sorrow Over The Suffering They Continue To Produce All Over The World.
