BRIEFLY
King’s message continues to resonate
AROUND THE WORLD
Lima, Peru
Magnitude 71 quake hits
off Peru, killing at least 1
Grizzlies of the National Basket-
ball Association.
“When people come and
want to inflict hurt on some-
body, you can’t come back and
do the same to them,” Conley
said. “Otherwise, were in this
never-ending spiral that were in
the middle of right now.”

ATLANTA
voice was silenced nearly 50 year's
ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr.’s message of nonviolence still
resonates and inspires.
Decades ago, the famed civil
rights leader — also regarded as
one of America’s greatest orators
— recalled driving one night
from Atlanta to Chattanooga,
Tennessee, with his brother A.D.
at the wheel. Most cars in the op-
posite lane failed to dim their
lights, and Iris brother angrily
vowed to keep his bright lights
on in retaliation.
‘And I looked at him right
quick and said: ‘Oh no, don’t do
that There’d be too much light
on this highway, and it will end
up in mutual destruction for all.
Somebody got to have some
sense on this highway,”’ King
told the congregation at the
Dexter Avenue Baptist Church
in Montgomery, Alabama dur-
ing a 1957 sermon.
“Somebody must have sense
enough to dim the lights, and
that is the tr ouble, isn’t it?” King
told the congregation. “That as
all of the civilizations of the
world move up the highway of
history, so many civilizations,
“When he says ‘hate cannot
drive out hate, only light can do
that,’ it recognizes that to be
bitter about your circumstance
is one thing. To retaliate based
on your circumstance is quite
another,” said Terri Lee Free-
man, president of the National
Civil Rights Museum in Mem-
phis, at the site of the old Lor-
raine Motel. “So, Dr. King re-
minds us that it is usually
through love — actionable love
— that we are able to make
change.”
Though his
A powerful earthquake
struck off Pern’s coast early Sun-
day, tumbling adobe homes in
small, rural towns, killing at
least one person and leaving
dozens injured, officials said.
The U.S. Geological Survey
said the early morning quake
had a magnitude of 7.1 and was
centered 25 miles from Acari in
the Arequipa department of
southwestern Peru.
The quake jolted people
awake as far away as capital city
of lima, some 350 miles from
Acari, blocked some roads, col-
lapsed adobe homes in several
towns and left at least one super-
market a jumble of fallen crack-
er boxes and soda bottles.
Arequipa Gov. Yamila Osorio
said a 55-year-old man killed
when he was crushed by a fallen
rock, and the National Civil De-
fense Institute said at least 57
people were injured.
‘This is a time of moral reck-
oning in our nation. We must
choose to stand on the side oflight
and love,” said the Rev. Raphael
Warnock, senior pastor of Ebe-
nezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
“We have to stand up as
Americans and say that we will
stand on behalf of the poor, the
marginalized, those who experi-
ence discrimination both histor-
ically, and presently,” he added.

bama, in 1965.
“In order to fulfill a dream, it’s
going to take a team that’s going
to demonstrate love and not
hate,” Cleophus Smith said.
Smith was one of the sanita-
tion workers who went on strike
in 1968 after two of his co-work-
ers were killed by a malfunction-
ing garbage truck. King was in
Memphis supporting the sanita-
tion workers’ strike when he was
slain at the Lorraine Motel.
having looked at other civiliza-
tions that refused to dim the
lights, and they decided to refuse
to dim theirs.”
More than a half-century lat-
er, in a world full of contentious
politics, one of King’s memora-
ble quotes remains relevant. It’s
from his book Strength to Love,
first published in 1963:
“Returning hate for hate mul-
tiplies hate, adding deeper dark-
ness to a night already devoid of
stars. Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do that
Hate cannot drive out hate; only
love can do that. Hate multiplies
hate, violence multiplies vio-
lence, and toughness multiplies
toughness in a descending spiral
of destruction.”
The AP asked a half-dozen
people in the cities where he was
bom and where he died to con-
sider his words and talk about
what they mean for today’s world.
Some were interviewed in At-
lanta, home to King’s Ebenezer
Baptist Church congregation and
his office where Xemona Clayton
organized protest marches and
fundraisers. Others reflected on
the quote in Memphis, in front of
the Lorraine Motel balcony
where King was assassinated on
April 4,1968.
“He talked about love and
hate so effectively,” saidXernona
Clayton, King’s office manager
in Atlanta. “Dr. King really hated
no one. He loved everyone, he
really did. He practiced it, and
he preached it.
“So when he talks about what
hate does versus what love does,
it’s so applicable to today,” she
said. “We have to drive out hate
any way we can. We have to
str engthen love any way we can.”

French president seeks

scheme of things, you can’t fight

live in today. You can’t fight vio-
lence with violence,” said Mike

Can a democratic country
outlaw fake news?
France is about to find out,
after President Emmanuel Ma-
cron ordered a law to quash false
information
around electoral campaigns.
Criticism is pouring in from
media advocates, tech experts —
and Kr emlin-backed broadcast-
er RT. They say the law smacks
of authoritarianism, would be
impossible to enforce and is sure
to backfire.
Macron’s stance “could be
just the beginning of actually
censoring freedom of speech.
We believe it is a very dangerous
situation,” Xenia Fedorova, di-
rector of RT’s newly launched
French-language channel, told
The Associated Press.
Yet in a world where a false-
hood can reach billions instan-
taneously and political manipu-
lation is increasingly sophisti-
cated, Macron argues some-
thing must be done.
While democracies usually
rely on defamation and libel
laws to combat false publica-
tions, Macron wants more.
In a New Year’s speech to
journalists, he said he’s ordering
a new ‘legal arsenal” that would
oblige news sites to reveal who
owns them and where their
money comes from.
