Civil disobedience is a moral weapon in fight for justice

James Farmer Jr.'s arguments in favor of "Civil disobedience is a moral weapon in fight for justice" from the movie "The great debaters".

In Texas, they lynch negros.  My teammates and I saw a man strung up by his neck and set on fire.  We drove to a lynch mob pressed our faces against the floor board.  I looked at my team mates, i saw the fear in their eyes, remorse, the shame.  What was this negros's crime, that he should be hung without a trial?  Was he a theif?  Was he a killer? or just a negro?  Was he a share cropper? A preacher?  And who are we to just lie there and do nothing?  No matter what he did, the mob was the criminal.  But the law did nothing.  This set us wondering, why?  My opponent says, nothing that erodes the rule or law can be moral.  But there is no rule or law in the south.  Not when we negros are denied housing, turned away from school, hospitals and not when we are lynched.  St. Augustine said, an unjust law is no law at all.  Which means I have a right, even a duty to resist, with violence or civil disobedience.  You should pray I choose the latter.
