Mary Dyer’s claims in The Silencing of Mary Dyer directly supports Martin Luther King Jr.’s statements that had been made 300 years later. King’s statement declares, “An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.” By analyzing and dissecting this, numerous aspects of Mary Dyer’s life and actions could validate the quote. King’s first component of his statement expresses that, “an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice...” Evidence written throughout The Silencing of Mary Dyer helps exemplify this statement.

First off Martin understood that violence wasn’t the answer to the black man’s problems. “Violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder.” (Doc J)
She eventually got arrested, but motivated a boycott led by Martin Luther King Jr. What swayed the votes towards Kennedy was when after King Jr. was arrested, Kennedy called Mrs. King and offered his sympathy. While Kennedy was offering his sympathy, his brother, Bobby Kennedy, called the judge in charge of King’s case and got him released from prison. King then said “I’ve got a suitcase of votes, and I’m going to take them to Mr. Kennedy.” King changed the political campaign tremendously by pretty much not even giving Nixon a fighting chance.

The church may even accuse him as a heretic and kill him. All he needs to do is print the 95 Theses and get someone to spread it around so he can get some followers for the church.

My first though when contemplating the essay prompt was to go back in time and change a horrific event: The Crusades, The Rape of Nanking, and the Nazi Genocide. But what would I really do? Kill Hitler? I would end up shot for stepping in Germany. Then my next thought was to bet all of my assets on the biggest sporting upset of human history, the 2007 playoffs, the #1 Dallas Mavericks losing to the mediocre Golden State Warriors.
