6 6 There comes a time when a moral man can’t obey a law
which his conscience tells him is unjust. And the important
thing is that when he does that, he willingly accepts the
penalty-because if he refuses to accept the penalty, then he
becomes reckless, and he becomes an anarchist. There were
those individuals in every age and generation who were
willing to say, ‘I will be obedient to a higher law.’ It is
important to see there are times when a man made law is out
of harmony with the moral law of the universe.9 9
- Martin Luther King Jr.
‘ ‘ The belief that god will do everything for man is as
untenable as the belief that man can do everything for himself.
It, too, is based on a lack of faith. We must learn that to expect
God to do everything while we do nothing is not faith but
superstition.99
- Martin Luther King Jr.
‘ ‘ Justice for black people will not flow into society merely
from court decisions nor from fountains of political oratory.
Nor will a few token changes quell all the tempestuous
yearnings of millions of disadvantaged black people. White
America must recognize that justice for black people cannot
be achieved without radical changes in the structare of our
society. The comfortable, the entrenched, the privileged can­
not continue to tremble at the prospect of change in the status
quo. 55
- Martin Luther King Jr.
6 6 We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the
time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the
promise of democracy and transform our pending national
elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to
life our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice
to the solid rock of human dignity.9
