Stride Toward Freedom by Martin Luther King, Jr.

-Oppression-acquiescence
-Some slaves prefer to be slaves than to be free because it is what they are used to and comfortable with/familiar with.
-"Been down so long that down don't bother me."
- By giving up, the oppressed become as evil as the oppressor.
-To accept being treated badly would say to the oppressor that their being treated that way is okay.
-Oppression-violence/violent protests
-Oppression-non-violent protests-not aimed at the "oppressors" but the oppression.
