Martin Luther's King's Keenest Insight (in the view of Jimmy Carter)

At the 50th Anniversary Celebration for The March On Washington, Jimmy Carter opined that King's keenest insight was expressed in his Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech:

Nonviolence is the answer
to the crucial political and moral questions of our time:
the need for man to overcome oppression and violence
without resorting to oppression and violence.
Man must evolve for all human conflict
a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation.
The foundation of such a method is love.
