Martin Luther King's Six Principles of Nonviolence
As a spiritual leader, as a community educator and organizer, I have always adhered to Martin Luther King’s Six Principles of Non-Violence. I ask that our rally, and your support, reflect these principles.
- One: Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is active nonviolent resistance to evil. It is aggressive spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
- Two: Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding. The result of nonviolence is redemption and reconciliation. The purpose of nonviolence is the creation of the Beloved Community.
- Three: Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people. Nonviolence recognises that evildoers are also victims and are not evil people. The nonviolent resister seeks to defeat evil, not people.
- Four: Nonviolence holds that suffering can educate and transform. Nonviolence accepts suffering without retaliation. Unearned suffering is redemptive and has tremendous educational and transforming possibilities.
- Five: Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate. Nonviolence resists violence of the spirit as well as the body. Nonviolent love is spontaneous, unmotivated, unselfish and creative.
- Six: Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice. The nonviolent resister has deep faith that justice will eventually win. Nonviolence believes that God is a God of justice.
Songs for the Rally!
If I had a hammer,
I’d hammer out the morning,I’d hammer out the evening,
all over this land,I’d hammer out danger,
I’d hammer out a warning,I’d hammer out love between
my brothers and my sisters
all over this land
If I had a bell,
I’d ring it in the morning,I’d ring it in the evening,
all over this land,I’d ring out danger,
I’d ring out a warning,I’d ring out love between
my brothers and my sisters
all over this land
If I had a song,
I’d sing it in the morning,I’d sing it in the evening,
all over this land,I’d sing out danger,
I’d sing out a warning,I’d sing out love between
my brothers and my sisters
all over this land
Well, I got a hammer,
And I got a bell,And I got a song to sing,
all over this land,It’s the hammer of justice,
It’s the bell of freedom,It’s a song about love between
my brothers and my sisters
all over this land
This land is your land,
This land is my land,
From California,
To the New York Island,From the Redwood Forest,
To the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made
for you and me
As I was walking
That ribbon of highway,
I saw above me
That endless skyway,
I saw below me,
That golden valley,
This land was made
for you and me…
I’ve roamed and I’ve rambled,
and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
Her diamond deserts,
And all around me,
A voice was sounding:
This land was made
for you and me…
When the sun came shining,
And I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving.
And the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting,
A voice was chanting:
This land was made
for you and me…
Nobody living,
Can ever stop me,
As I go walking,
That freedom highway,
Nobody living,
Can make me turn back,
This land was made
for you and me…
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday,
Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand someday,
Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We’ll walk hand in hand someday.
We shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday,
Deep in my heart,
I do believe,
We shall live in peace someday.
We shall all be free,
We shall all be free,
We shall all be free someday,
Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall all be free someday.
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday,
Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid today,
Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.
We shall not,
We shall not be moved,
We shall not,
We shall not be moved,
Like a tree
That’s planted by the water,
We shall not be moved.
Fighting for our freedom,
We shall not be moved,
Fighting for our freedom,
We shall not be moved,
Like a tree
That’s planted by the water,
We shall not be moved.
Fighting for our children,
We shall not be moved,
Fighting for our children,
We shall not be moved,
Like a tree
That’s planted by the water,
We shall not be moved.
All of us together,
We shall not be moved,
All of us together,
We shall not be moved,
Like a tree
That’s planted by the water,
We shall not be moved.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mounain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America, America,
God shed much grace on thee,
Ring sisterhood!
Ring brotherhood!
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful thy nations first
From ancient times they thrive
Their strength and wisdom
shared with us,
So humankind survives
America, America,
Rise up to meet they dream
Of sisterhood! Of brotherhood!
From sea to shining sea
O beautiful thy immigrants
Who hail from every land,
Their hope and hear and diligence
Like gifts from God’s own hand
America, America,
Thy grace shall yet remain
To greet the poor who reach thy shore
With open arms again
O beautiful thy working folk
Build cities, tilled thy soil
Proud Africans in bloody chains
The wealth built from their toil
America, America,
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law
America, America,
God shed much grace on thee
So spread the love sent from above
From sea to shining sea
This is my song,
O God of all the nations,
A song of peace,
for lands afar and mine
This is my home,
The country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes,
My dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts
In other lands are beating
for lands afar and mine
This is my home,
The country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes,
My dreams, my holy shrine;
But other hearts
In other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams
As true and high as mine.
As true and high as mine.
My country’s skies
Are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight beams
On cloverleaf and pine.
Both other lands
Have sunlight too, and clover,
And skies are ev’rywhere
As blue as mine.
So hear my song,
O God of all the nations,
A song of peace,
For their land and for mine.
Are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight beams
On cloverleaf and pine.
Both other lands
Have sunlight too, and clover,
And skies are ev’rywhere
As blue as mine.
So hear my song,
O God of all the nations,
A song of peace,
For their land and for mine.
This is my prayer,
O God of all earth’s kingdoms,
Your kingdom come;
On earth your will be done.
O God, be lifted up
Till all shall serve you,
And hearts united
Learn to live as one.
So hear my prayer,
O God of all the nations;
Myself I give you;
Let your will be done.
