"I remember I got some clarification from #ReinholdNiebuhr's lectures, which ended up in his book MORAL MAN IN IMMORAL SOCIETY. I was in his class when he was working on it ... so I was influenced by the thinking, the clarification that went into the book--that it's the structures of society that we've got to change. We don't change men's [sic] hearts. [1/2]

"My friends, I must say to you that we have not made a single gain in #civilrights without determined #legal and #nonviolent #pressure. Lamentably, it is an #historical #fact that #privileged groups seldom give up their #privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the #moral light and voluntarily give up their #unjust posture; but, as #ReinholdNiebuhr has reminded us, groups tend to be more #immoral than individuals." #MartinLutherKing Jr., Letter from #BirminghamJail, April 16, 1963. #MLKDay
