One of the most moving stories in the life of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., happened one afternoon in 1967, when a childhood friend, Howard Baugh, stopped by to visit the great man at his home and complain about his sudden stand against the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are you speaking out against the war?\u201d he asked. Civil rights and peace don\u2019t mix \u2014 that was the common wisdom of the day. “You\u2019re wrecking everything!” That was the growing complaint in the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I speak about nonviolence,\u201d Martin explained patiently, \u201cI mean nonviolent all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As David Garrow reports in “Bearing the Cross,” King went on, \u201cNever could I advocate nonviolence in this country and not advocate nonviolence for the whole world. That\u2019s my philosophy. I don\u2019t believe in death and killing on any side, no matter who\u2019s heading it up \u2014 whether it be America or any other country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNonviolence is my stand and I\u2019ll die for that stand,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that moment, Howard Baugh later said, \u201cI understood for the first time in my life what was meant by nonviolence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few months later King was dead. But up until the very end, he tried to teach everyone the wisdom of nonviolence. That night on April 3, 1968, before some 15,000 people in Memphis, he pleaded that we all embrace nonviolence as a way of life, and that we welcome all the social, economic, political and spiritual implications of nonviolence, or we will face the consequences of our global violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standing before the packed crowd at the Mason Temple in Memphis the night before his death, King summed up our predicament: \u201cThe choice before us is no longer violence or nonviolence. It\u2019s nonviolence or non-existence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think this is where we stand today, and this is also the key to understanding Dr. King \u2014 that he was committed to active, organized nonviolence at every level for positive social change. Like his childhood friend, I think we\u2019ve all missed his point. Even though we know the story of King, and we\u2019ve honored him all our lives, we still can\u2019t comprehend what he means when he says \u201cnonviolence all the way\u201d \u2014 nonviolence at every level, at every point, in every crisis \u2014 in other words, total nonviolence. Like his childhood friend, King is still patiently inviting us to take on his vision of total nonviolence with all its social, economic, political and spiritual implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
King\u2019s nonviolence would entail responding to violence at every personal, national and global level with active, positive nonviolent action. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
King called for nonviolence as the solution toward every issue, every crisis, every problem. If we want to honor him, we need to heed his call to total nonviolence and start teaching it and practicing as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Climate change, nuclear war, corporate greed, racism, systemic poverty, government corruption \u2014 the unprecedented systemic violence of our world proves his point. Violence has not only failed, it has brought us ever closer to non-existence, as King promised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
King\u2019s nonviolence would entail responding to violence at every personal, national and global level with active, positive nonviolent action. So, for example, it would mean being nonviolent toward Iran, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, and all those engaged in war on the planet, through nonviolent solutions such as dialogue and negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It would mean responding to the pressing issues of the day from a new Kingian vision of nonviolence. In response to capital crime, we would abolish capital punishment with all its inequalities and seek rehabilitation. In the face of the ongoing killings and massacres, nonviolence would seek strict hand gun control for a radical decrease in the possession and use of handguns. In the face of the threat of nuclear war, nonviolence requires a global commitment toward the abolition of nuclear weapons so that we could start a new era in history when people would no longer fear the threat of nuclear annihilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the face of catastrophic climate change, nonviolence summons us toward a entirely new strategy of nonviolence toward Mother Earth and her creatures, which would mean no more fracking, no more drilling for oil, no more mining, and no more violence toward creation. This consistent nonviolence would also require toward nonviolence toward the poor and oppressed, and government policies that outlaw corruption and greed and institutionalize social, economic and racial justice. Live and let live would become the new norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few years ago, Pace e Bene started the Nonviolent Cities Project as a way to take King\u2019s vision to another level, to help entire cities become nonviolent. Based on the ground-breaking work of Carbondale, Illinois, the Nonviolent Cities project aims to help communities connect the dots between every form of violence, and work to fight poverty, racism, handgun violence, as well as local involvement with militarism and environmental destruction, while also teaching every student in the community about nonviolent living; having every religious institution preach nonviolence; training local police in nonviolent conflict resolution; and helping everyone to see violence as a society-wide health problem, so that nonviolent living might become our common vision and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We launched the Nonviolent Cities project as a new way to engage King\u2019s vision and bring his nonviolence to the grassroots level. Today over 20 cities are experimenting with this vision in an effort to apply King\u2019s vision and methodology of consistent nonviolence to their communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
King\u2019s childhood friend didn\u2019t understand when he spoke of nonviolence, and he knew King since he was a boy. I hope we can all open our minds and hearts to hear King’s call for total nonviolence all over again, that we might get past the culture’s violence, see with the vision of nonviolence, dare to embrace its universal implications and go forward in hope toward a new culture of nonviolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
