"So, we stand up. And as we stand and speak, King reminds us to do so nonviolently, guided by the truth that “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Contemporary research affirms what he taught long ago: angry mobs do not change history as effectively as peaceful movements. Nonviolent protests are far more likely to succeed. If we hope to end a chaos so constant it has lost its power to shock us, we cannot answer it with chaos of our own. We must act with calm, with light, and with love.

“The time is always right to do right,” King said. We feel that time is now."

So, we stand up. King reminds us to do so nonviolently, guided by the truth that “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
