Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes
They asked if our own nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted.

For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.
