you didnt have the sit-ins, you wouldn't have this dramaticnot
only this dramatic, but this mass demonstrationof the dissatis-
fatcion of the Negro with the whole system of segregation.

MR. LEWIS: You just had a strategy meeting in Raleigh.
North Carolina, on this whole question. and I notice that one
speaker was quite critical of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, speaking of it as too conserva-
tive and too slow-moving. Do you share that view, and just what
was the feeling at this strategy meeting? What was the con-
clusionthat you have to move more quickly than you have been?

DR. KING: 1 should say rst that I didn't hear a speaker make
that particular point, so that I cant speak on thatwhether the
speaker said it or whether he didnt say it. I heard all of the
speakers, and I didnt hear that. I didnt nd any anti-NAACP
attitude at the strategy meeting. All of the leaders from the
Southern sit-in movement assembled there, and they assembled
there with the awareness of the fact that the NAACP has given
absolute support to the sit-ins. The NAACP has made it very
clear that this is a good movement, a positive movement that it
will support throughout. There was some criticism, not of the
NAACP, but of the snail-like pace of the implementation process,
the implementation of the Supreme Court's decision and dissatis-
faction with the conniving methods and evasive schemes used to
avoid following the law of the land. This isnt a criticism of the
NAACP; it is a criticism of the agencies and the courts that will
use the law to delay and get it bogged down in complex litigation
processes.

MRS. CRAIG: I have been told that there are places in Harlem
which refuse to serve white customers. Do you know if that is
true? If so, do you justify it as either morally or legally right?

DR. KING: I am very sorry, I do not. I don't know of places
in Harlem who will not serve white customers. If such places
exist. I think it is a blatant injustice. and just redevelopment of
the thing we are trying to get rid of, so I certainly wouldnt go
along with that.

MR. VAN DER LINDEN: Dr. King, how many white people
are members of your church in Atlanta?

DR. KING: I dont have any white members, Mr. van der
Linden.

MR. VAN DER LINDEN: You said integration is the law of
the land and it is morally right, whereas segregation is morally

IO

wrong. and the President should do something about it. Do you
mean the President should issue an order that the schools and
the churches and the stores should all be integrated?

DR. KING: 1 think it is one of the shameful tragedies. of our
nation that i l o'clock on Sunday morning is one of the most segre-
gated hours. if not the most segregated hour. in Christian
America. I denitely think the Christian church should he inte
grated. and any church that stands against integration and that
has a segregated body is standing against the spirit and the
teachings of Jesus Christ. and it fails to he a trace witness. But
this is something that the church will have to do itself. I don't
think church integration will come through legal processes. I
might say that my church is not a segregating church. It is
segregated but not segregating. It would welcome white members.

MR. BROOKS: I think at this point 1 will have to interrupt. I

see that our time is up. Thank you very much. Dr. King. for
being with us.

MEET THE PRESS

__.__..__

ANNOUNCER: Now MEET THE PRESS, produced by Law~
rence E. Spivak. Remember that the questions asked by the mem-
bers of the panel do not necessarily reect their point. of view;
it is their way of getting the story for you.

Now here is the Moderator of MEET THE PRESS, Mr. Ned
Brooks.

MR. BROOKS: Welcome once again to MEET THE PRESS.
For the past several months a new strategy to end racial segre-
gation has been spreading through the South. It takes the form
of sit-in demonstrations by Negro students against segregation
in public eating places. It is part of a broader campaign of non-
violent resistance led by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.
Jr.. who is our guest today. Dr. King is a Baptist minister and
head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which is
spearheading the passive resistance movement. Dr. King rst
attracted nationwide attention in 1956 when he led the boycott
against segregation in public buses in Montgomery, Alabama.
His activities have resulted five times in his arrest, and his home

and church were bombed. Early this year Dr. King moved his
base of operations from Montgomery. Alabama. to Atlanta. Geor-
gia. lie is 31 years old. born in the South and edUcated for the
ministry in the North.

MR. SIIVAK: Dr. King. former President Harry Truman
recently said this: If anyone came to my store and sat down. I
would throw him out. Private business has its own rights and
can do what it wants." Former President Truman is an old friend
of the Negro. I believe. Isnt this an indication that the sitvin
strikes are doing the Negro race more harm than good?

DR. KING: No. I dont think so. First I should say that this
was an unfortunate statement. and we were very disappointed
to hear the former President of the United States make such a
statement. In a sense a statement like this serves to aid and
abet the violent forces in the South. Even if Mr. Truman dis-
agreed with the sitins. he should certainly disagree with them
on a higher level. Following his past record. it seems to me that
Mr. Truman wouldn't have faced such a situation. because there
wouldn't be a segregated store in the beginning. if he were run-
ning it. according to his statements in the past.

I do not think that this movement is setting us back or making
enemies. It is causing numerous people all over the nation and
in the South. in particular. to reevaluate the stereotypes that they
have developed concerning Negroes. so that it has an educational
value. and I think in the long run it will transform the whole of
American society.

MR. SPIVAK: You yourself have aid that the aim of your
method of non-violent resistance is not to defeat or humiliate the
white man. but to win his friendship and his understanding. How
successful do you think you have been or are being in winning the
friendship and understanding of the white men of the South?

DR. KING: I should say that this doesnt come overnight.
The non-violent way does not bring about miracles. in a few hours.
in a few days or in a few years. for that matter. The rst reaction
of the oppressor when oppressed people rise up against the system
of injustice is an attitude of bitterness. But 1 do believe that if
the non-violent resistors continue to follow the way of non-violence
they eventually get over to the hearts and souls of the former
oppressors. and I think it eventually brings about that redemption
that we dream of. Of course. I can't estimate how many people
we have touched so far. This is impossible because it is an inner

4

process. but i am sure something is stirring in the minds and the
souls of people. and I am sure that many people are thinking
anew on this basic pl'tiljlelll of human relations.

MR. SPIVAK: You speak of your movement as a nonvviolent
movement, and yet the end product of it. has been violence. You
have also called upon the white people. of the South particularly,
to live up to the law as the Supreme (ourt has interpreted it.
Dont you think you would have more standing in your light if
you. yourself. called upon your people to live up to the law rather
than to break the law and to risk jail in these sit-ins?

DR. KING: I would say two things to that: First. the end
result has not been a violent result. I would say that there has
been some violence here and there. but the non-violent resistor
does not go on with the idea that there will not be any violence
inflicted upon him. In other words, he is always willing to he the
recipient of violence but never to inict it upon another. He goes
on the idea that he must act now against injustice, with moral
means. Ile feels that in acting against this injustice he must
never inict injury upon the Opponent. but he is always m'epared
to absorb the violence which emerges, if sueh violence emerges in
the process.

MR. SIIVAK: But aren't you urging him to break the local
laws when you are asking the white people to live up to the laws.
and is this a good method of procedure?

DR. KING: I think we will nd that the law of the land is a
law which calls for integration. This has been allirmed by the
Supreme Court of the nation. mainly in the 1051 decision outlaw-
ing segregation in the public schools. It made it palpably clear
that separate facilities are inherently unequal. so that in breaking
local laws, we are really seeking to dignifv the law and to atlirm
the real and positive meaning of the law of the land.

MR. LEWIS: In connection with the sit-in movement and
other aspects of the racial question. there has certainlv been an
increase in tension in various parts of the Southwhat. Mr. Spivak
was speaking ofregardless of the motivation. During the last
week The New York Times has run some stories about Birming-
ham. Alabama. suggesting that a kind of reign of terror is taking
place there. with the ofcials on the side of those terrorizing
those who believe in racial equality. My question is. what role
do you see for the federal government in this situation? Do you
think the federal government has a place to play. say. in Birming-
ham or in connection with your sit-in demonstrations?

5

DR. KING: Yes. I do. 1 think the federal government has the
responsibility of protecting citizens of this nation as they protest
against the injustices which they face. I also feel that the Execu-
tive branch of the government should do more in terms of moral
persuasion. The. Legislative branch should certainly do more
in giving the proper legislation, so that the transition will be
made in much smoother manner than we are facing now.

MR. LEWIS: We have just had a civil rights bill passedyou
speak of the Legislative branch. I wonder what you think of that.
and what more you would have had Congress do?

DR. KING: 1 must confess that l was disappointed with the
nal bill because so many things that I felt were basic happened
to have been deleted or omitted. And the whole question of school
integrationl am convinced that. the nation. the federal govern-
ment. will have. to face it in a much more forthright and courage-
ous manner than it has in the past. and by omitting this section of
the bill, I think we face something very disappointing. Even in
the area of voter registration, I think there is much more that can
be done. The bill that we have, which is mainly in the area of
voter registration, will help, particularly in some communities. but
it is not at all a panacea. It has certain red tape complex qualities
about it which will still make the process a long one, and I think
ultimately the federal government should set forth a uniform
pattern of registration and voting so that no citizen will have
a problem at this point.

MR. LEWIS: You Spoke of the Executive branch. also, and
moral leadership being needed. What precisely would you have
the President doIresident Eisenhower or his successor?

DR. KING: l think there are several things. Certainly the
President can do a great deal in the area of executive orders. He
has certain executive powers. where orders can be made. and
the country must follow it and comply with these orders. 0n the
other hand. there is a great deal that a man as powerful as the
President of the United States can do in the area of moral per-
suasion. by constantly si'ieaking to the people on the moral values

involved in integration and urging the people to comply with the
law of the land.

MRS. CRAIG: There have been court decisions saying that
a storekeeper can select his customers. Are you mying that the

end justifies the means and you are apparently breaking local
laws. hoping,r l" or a better conclusion?

6

DR. KING: I would say. rst, that the Supreme Court has not
rendered a decision at this point. It is true that there have been
other decisions. but I think on the basis of the 1954 decision. if
the Supreme Court follows what it set forth in 1954, it would
have to uphold the law in this areathat segregation is wrong,
even in lunch counters and public placesbecause that decision
said in substance that segregation generates a feeling of inferior-
ity within the segregated, and, thereby. it abridges the equal pro-
tection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am sure if we
follow this through in this area, the same thing will follow.

On the other hand. if you are saying. are we breaking laws
because we feel that the end justies the meanswe feel that
there are moral laws in the universe just as valid and as basic as
man-made laws, and whenever a man-made law is in conict
with what we consider the law of God. or the moral law of the
universe. then we feel that we have a moral obligation to protest.
This is an American tradition all the way from the Boston Tea
Party. on down. We have praised individuals in America who
stood up with creative initiative to revolt against an unjust sys-
tem. so that this is all we are doing. In our institutionswe give
the Boston Tea Party as an example of the initiative of Ameri.
cans, and I think this is an example of the initiative and the great
creative move of the young people of our nation.

MRS. CRAIG: But, Dr. King. this is a nation that lives under
law. Above the Supreme Court is engraven Equal Justice Under
Law." Is each of us to decide when it is all right to break a law?

DR. KING: I would say that. as 1 said a few minutes ago. when
the law of our nation stands in conict with the higher moral
law. and when a local law stands in conict with the federal law.
then we must resist that law in order to dignify and give meaning
to the full out-pouring of the federal law and the moral law.

MRS. CRAIG: But. sir. we have Congress to change a law.
\Ke have the courts to interpret the law. Are you going beyond
t em.

DR. KING: We have discovered that in any non-violent move-
meat you have a way of direct action. In many instances the
courts have made for slow movement. so to speak As one Attor-
ney General says, we are prepared for a century of litigation.
We have observed the sometimes-hypocritical attitudes in Con-
gress and the slow movements there and the apathy. so that this
is a direct-action approach. The whole aim. the end result will

genation has existed more in the South where you have rigid
segregation laws than it has existed in the .\'orth where you don't
have such barriers. It hasn't been the Negro who is the aggressor
at this point. We just need to look around. and we can see that.

MR. SPIVAK: You say that the Negroes have a moral right
to occupy the restaurant seats. You have had a Supreme Court
edict on the school integration. Would you say that your children.
the Negro children. have a right to occupy the seats in classrooms.
too. and would you consider that form of non-violence?

DR. KING: I am sure that Negroes have. this right on the
basis of the. Supreme (ourt logo into schools. l haven't gone into.
1 havent thought through the strategy at this point. how non-
violent resistence can apply in the school integration struggle.
l do think it can apply. and i think we need to think through
some of these methods. The main thing is that the methods must
always be non-violent and they must always be based on the
principle of love. But the specic application I am not prepared
to say at this time. I do know that we have that. right, on the
basis of the decision from the Supreme Court.

MR. SllVAK: Wouldn't you be on better ground. both legal
and moral. if you occupied school seats than by occupying a few
restaurant seats?

DR. KING: 1 am not sure. about that. because I think that we
have an economic factor involved here. and even if one denied
the legal aspect or the legal right to do it. there is a deeper moral
right. As Governor Collins of Florida said. it is a blatant injustice
to welcome individuals into a store at all of the counters but the
eating counter. This is a blatant injustice. and it is very unfair.
So that we have not only legal rights involved here, but also moral
rights.

MR. SllVAK: Wouldnt you he on stronger grounds. though.
if you refused to buy at those stores. and if you called upon the
white people of the country to follow you because of both your
moral and your legal right not to buy?

DR. KING: 1 think. sometimes it is necessary to dramatize
an issue because many people are. not. aware of what: is haplwning.
I think the sit-ins serve to dramatize the indignities and the. in-
justices which Negro mople are facing all over the nation. 1 think
another reason why they are necessary and they are vitally im-
portant at this point is the fact that they give an eternal refuta-
tion to the idea that the Negro is satislied with segregation. If
