Martin Luther King, Jr. Poster on Violence
Classic duotone of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Eutaw, AL church, 1966: “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact,violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” — Martin Luther King, Jr. Produced in response to terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, this 18×24 poster affirms the necessity and power of nonviolence. Photo by Bob Fitch. Perfect for personal use and educational settings.
