This past Monday, January 21, was the observance of civil rights leader Martin Luther King. I feel that his non-violent approach to equal rights is an example of chapter 22 verse 20: "You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." That is, learning from your oppression and not holding it against other people. Dr. King didn't want to punish people for what blacks and other minorities had been through; He simply wanted better treatment by starting off on a new page.
