In the closing words of his 1967 speech about the impact of the Vietnam War on the progress of Black Americans, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded his audience that true leadership does not come from the search for power, control, or approval. Instead, leadership is about teamwork, compromise, and the ability to listen to others. A steadfast advocate for nonviolence, King used his words to unite the civil rights movement under the banner of peace. He insisted on educating his followers, holding dialogue with dissenters, and striving to create a new, harmonious consensus among his supporters — all in order to lay out a path toward progress.
