We who engage in non-violent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.


Atlantic Monthly August 1963


We who engage in non-violent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.

We who engage in non-violent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.

We who engage in non-violent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
