Where Do We Go From Here

My favorite part of this selection is when he talks about love and power. He talks about how most see love and power as opposites, "Love is identified with the resignation of power, and power with a denial of love." I found this sentiment interesting because although I've never thought of it this way before, that's entirely true. Throughout history, when one group has been wronged or oppressed, the general consensus has been to rise up and equally oppress the oppressor. MLK refutes this, highlighting the hypocrisy of some he considered extremists. Definitely an interesting read.
