NEW YORK - Mrs. Martin
Luther King, Jr., widow of the
assassinated civil rights leader,
today urged the members of
the Women's Liberation Move
ment not to become "bitter or
vindictive" if they hope to
succeed in their fight for
equality.
In an interview published
in the current issue of Red
book magazine, just released,
Mrs. King suggested that Wo
men's Lib look toward the
Black woman for inspiration in
combating the oppression
which exists against women to
day.
"The Black woman has a
special role to play," she
declared. "Our heritage of
suffering and our experience in
having to struggle against all
odds to raise our children gives
us a greater capacity for both
suffering and understanding.
This has enlarged our ability
to be compassionate. We
have, I think a kind of stami
na, a determination, which
makes us trong."
