Seeing my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., march with a child holding a sign that reads “Children are not born to burn” reminds us that the moral questions surrounding war are not new.
He spoke out against the Vietnam War because he believed that bombs falling on children anywhere threaten the conscience of humanity everywhere.
Today we are again witnessing the unbearable loss of young lives in places like Sudan and Iran, where schools that should have been places of learning have become places of mourning.
My father warned that violence multiplies violence and that the choice before humanity is no longer violence or nonexistence but nonviolence or nonexistence.
Children are still depending on us to choose the better path.
