1.Gadflies
2.Paradoxical
Context: The need for non violent gadflies to create the kind of
tension in society that will help man rise from the dark of depths
of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding
and brotherhood
My Guess: They are doing something repeatly to possibly annoy
someone or something
Definition: noun, plural a person who persistently annoys or provok
es others with criticism, schemes, ideas, demands, requests, etc.
Why it Matters: This qoute matters because king is trying to show
that they will do anything to end segregation even if it means
demanding it.
Critical Thinking Question: Did using non violent gadflies cause the
civil rights momevment to countie reciving suppourt?
Context: At first glance it might look paradoxical for us to
consciously break laws.
My Guess: To act wrong or do something not right to the eyes of
others
 Definition: adjective1.having the nature of a paradox; selfcontradictory.
 2.Medicine/Medical . not being the normal or usual kind: Stimulan
ts are a paradoxical, albeit effective,
medication used for certain forms of hyperactivity.
Why it Matters:This matters because King later explains the
difference bettween just and unjust laws and how one must not
obey unjust laws “an unjust law is no law at all” (St Augustine).
Critical Thinking Question: How did not obey unjust laws cause
those againts civil rights to react?
This picture is an example of people going out in nonviolent
gadflies demanding their civil rights and showing that they are
not giving up in till they receive them.
Here we have both White men and woman locking arms with black
women this was out of the norm whites were not suppose to want
African Americans to receive their civil rights.
