Joan Baez on Martin Luther King Jr.
← Back to Martin Luther King Jr. Profile
“Martin Luther King, Jr., more than any other public figure helped to solidify my ideas and inspired me to act upon them.”
“It seemed a miracle that I would meet, and have the blessing to know and work with, one of the two saints of the phenomenon which had won my heart when I was barely sixteen years old: the concept of radical nonviolence, introduced to the world as a revolutionary political tool by Mahatma Gandhi in India, and reintroduced now by Martin Luther King, Jr., in the United States of America.”
