Excerpt
Dr. Bernard Lafayette, an associate of the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia, celebrated the effectiveness of nonviolence in addressing social injustices during a speech to the 1983 Lutheran Human Relations Institute.
Dr. Lafayette, reading the address originally scheduled to be presented by Coretta Scott King, reaffirmed the effectiveness of nonviolence in the 1980s.
Mrs. King was unable to appear at the Institute because of the illness of her mother. Dr. Lafayette was a colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., and a coordinator of the August 27, 20th Anniversary March on Washington, D.C.
