Martin Luther King, Jr. redefines peace as something deeper than temporary calm or the avoidance of conflict. He argues that peace cannot exist where injustice remains unresolved. According to King, tension often arises when people challenge unfair systems, and that tension is necessary for progress. Real peace, in his view, is achieved only when justice, equality, and fairness are actively upheld. This quote reflects King’s belief that social harmony must be built on moral foundations, not silence or compromise with injustice.
