It was an army whose allegiance was to God and whose strategic intelligence were the eloquently simple dictates of conscience. His creed of non-violence was criticized and challenged by ‘Black Power’ militants who would not renounce the use of violence to achieve their goals. Nevertheless, his faith in non-violence never wavered.
