onstrations enabled millions of people to
participate in the broader movement for
empowerment. It was the combination of
many kinds of non-cooperation that made
Kings strategy effective.
A Strarecy BEYOND ELECTIONS
Howard Zinn, the indefatigable ac-
tivist and historian, veteran of the civil
rights movement, summed up civil rights
strategy as early as 1966 ina seminal essay:
oNon-violent Direct Action ?;
oI speak of non-violent direct action
... . Whatever the specific form, this tech-
nique has certain qualities, It disturbs the
status quo. It intrudes on the complacency
of the majority... It creates tension and
trouble and thus forces the holders of
power to move faster... . What the civil
rights movement has revealed is that it is
necessary for people concerned with lib-
erty, even if they live in an ap roximately T
cratic state, to create a political power
which resides outside the regular political
establishment. While outside, removed
from the enticements of office and close to
those sources of human distress which ére-
ated it, this power can use a thousand dif. -
ferent devices to persuade and pressure
the official structure into recognizing its
needs. ?
Americans were converted to civil
rights through creative tension, thro
i sd es that made ie
possible for Americans to avoid the conse-
quences of their own wrongs and deeds.
In defense of his open-housing
marches through white communities in
Chicago, which caused a huge outcry from
whites, King wrote: oThe purpose of our
direct action program is to create a situa-
tion so crisis-packed that it will inevitably
open the door to negotiation. ? Within a
year Mayor Daley's Chicago passed open-
ousing laws.

tace. However, our movement has yet to
tap the social power that exists beyond
elections, beyond the politics or verbal ar-
gument and contained moral suasion.
American elections are degenerating into.a
system of bribery and corporate control,
No imperialist system was ever dismantled
through electoral politics within the ag-
gressor country. Gandhi's mass strategy, not
the British Parliament, brought down the
British empire. The Vietnamese resistance,
not legislators in Paris, ended Frenich colo-
nialism in Indochina. And no illegal, im-
moral war has ever been ended without
direct action and grassroots protest.
King Ts teachings about non-coopera-
tion with evil are as relevant today as they
were forty years ago. Like apartheid, im-
perialism is a social system, not a mere
policy of one president or a single govern-
ment. nos of Ki | s
In the teachings of King, respect for
human rights is the pre-condition forgenu.
ine, constitutional majority rule. No white
majority, no matter how large, has any con-
stitutional right to subjugate another
people, whether it is a domestic minority
or a foreign nation. One hundred thou-
sand Iraqis are dead, hospitals and mosques
destroyed, cities in rubble, thousands of
children and civilians maimed with clus-
ter bombs, all victims of America Ts military
tsunami.
If we dare apply the teachings of
King, we cannot ae the existing sys-
tem without challenging the people who
live inside it, who take it for granted, who
refuse to measure human rights by one
yardstick, who support imperialism and
war even when they tog are victims. It is
impossible to end the U.S. occupation of
Iraq, to halt the march of empire, without
first confronting " in King Ts spirit of com-
Passionate indignation " the people of
our own beloved nation. Let the memory
and teachings of King inspire us to carry
on his struggle against elective despotism
in America.
