In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “It is not sufficient for me to stand before you tonight and simply condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do so without simultaneously condemning the intolerable conditions that persist in our society. These conditions drive individuals to a point where they believe they have no recourse but to resort to violent rebellions in order to draw attention. And I must emphasize tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard.”
