“The end of violence or the
aftermath of violence is bitterness. The aftermath of nonviolence is
reconciliation and the creation of a beloved community. A boycott is never an
end within itself. It is merely a means to awaken a sense of shame within the
oppressor but the end is reconciliation, the end is redemption.”
