Civic Power and the People’s Rights: Nonviolent Action for a New World

Remarks by Jack DuVall. Speech centers around this question: Would we delegate to those who are in love with violence the task of liberation? Or do we believe, with Lincoln, that the people have the right to overturn any form of domination, and with Gandhi, that they have the opportunity?

Jack DuVall

Presented in Male, Maldive Islands, August 2006
