The Universe Is on the Side of Justice: Six Principles of Nonviolence, Part 6
[INTRO MUSIC]
This is 60-Second Civics from the Center for Civic Education. I’m Mark Gage.
Today we discuss Martin Luther King Jr.'s sixth principle of nonviolence—that the universe is on the side of justice.
King held that a love for one's adversaries was at the center of nonviolence and of the civil rights movement.
King proposed that this type of love is possible because “every person who believes in nonviolent resistance believes somehow that the universe in some form is on the side of justice.”
He emphasized that this belief unifies people and encourages them to endure blows and verbal assaults—and that they could gain strength from the notion that they stood on the side of justice.
That’s all for today’s podcast. 60-Second Civics, where civic education only takes a minute.
