He said, “You’ve never really given this organization full credit for what it really stands for.… It’s a nonviolent organization, and when I say nonviolent I mean nonviolent all the way.… Never could I advocate nonviolence in this country and not advocate nonviolence for the whole world.… That’s my philosophy … I don’t believe in the death and killing on any side, no matter who’s heading it up—whether it be America or any other country, or whether it be for black folks.… Nonviolence is my stand, and I’ll die for that stand.”
