Martin Luther King, Jr., on Feminism

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We take heart from so many of the great Civil Rights Leader’s words in our ongoing global struggle against the oppression of women.

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
