He once stopped an armed mob, saying: "We are not advocating violence. We want to love our enemies. I want you to love our enemies. Be good to them. . . .”
But he said, "If I am stopped, the movement will not stop. If I am stopped, our work will not stop. For what we are doing is right. What we are doing is just. . . ."
Dr. King's dedication to the rights of the workers who are so often exploited by the forces of greed has profoundly touched my life and guided my struggle.
The enemies of justice want you to think of Dr. King as only a civil rights leader, but he had a much broader agent.

The excerpt that provides evidence that Dr. King promoted nonviolence is:
"He once stopped an armed mob, saying: 'We are not advocating violence. We want to love our enemies. I want you to love our enemies. Be good to them. . . .’"
This statement clearly illustrates Dr. King's commitment to nonviolence and the principle of loving one's enemies, which is a central tenet of his philosophy and activism.
