خطوة نحو الحرية: قصة مونتغمري (Stride Toward Freedom)

مقدمة

King’s first book appeared in 1958, two years after the end of the Montgomery bus boycott. Most of it tells the story of the boycott: the arrest of Rosa Parks, the founding of the Montgomery Improvement Association with King as its president, car pools, arrests and the bombing of his house, until the Supreme Court’s ruling against segregation on the buses. The chapter “Pilgrimage to Nonviolence” describes his intellectual path through Thoreau, Rauschenbusch, Marx and Nietzsche to Gandhi, followed by Niebuhr’s critique of pacifism and the personalism and Hegel studies of his Boston years, and states the principles of nonviolent resistance: it resists evil actively but without violence, seeks to win the understanding of the opponent, attacks injustice rather than persons, accepts suffering without retaliating, refuses inner as well as outer violence and trusts that the universe is on the side of justice.
