The Search for Living Prophets

Bill Quigley – Message on Law and Social Justice


Listen Later

Dr. Martin Luther King’s message is not for the faint of heart. You must BE WILLING TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE, because questioning our laws will make other people uncomfortable. … We must NEVER CONFUSE LAW AND JUSTICE. What is legal is often not just. 100 years ago children were employed in dangerous industries. Women and African Americans could not vote. Bosses paid workers whatever they wanted. Industrialists used police to beat up strikers, and lawyers, judges, and legislators enforced laws that we know now were terribly unjust.

In the struggle for social justice, be prepared to be misunderstood and criticized. This is your purpose-filled life.

(Excerpts from Quigley letter, read to music.)
