King not only preached nonviolence, he practiced it. He used words rather than fists, and marches rather than guns. King's ability to rise above the common misconception of the need to fight fire with fire, and be morally better than his oppressors was mind numbing. To be violent while making a moral stand ruins the moral stand. King's moral courage is so provocative because of his commitment to nonviolence in the face of intense violence every day.
King not only protested nonviolently, but he also protested consistently. Anytime someone was in trouble due to an unjust law of segregation; King was there to fight for that person. He did not work for moral justice in just his hometown or his own state, but throughout the country and the world. He wrote, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". This shows that the courage King possessed was completely of the moral kind. He did not make a stand just to enhance his own life. He would lead a march in Washington DC if it would help one oppressed person in Mississippi. This was apowerful message to others that they cannot sit idly by just because the injustices of the time do not affect them. One must act to preserve justice for all, even if one is not the target of
