Dr. King speaks of integration as an important social principle that he feels can change the world but states that it is not enough to achieve an idealistic human participation world. Dr. King states that desegregation does not do much when aiming to achieve integration and views it as negative, only removing social and legal prohibitions but not acting towards inclusion in most human activities. Dr. King felt as if desegregation had the right intention but did not accomplish the goal that it set out to attain.
Dr. King viewed inclusion through integration as a national goal and stated that it needed much attention by inviting black people to be part of the democracy they would decide to engage in. Dr. King suggested that there needed to be a homogenous relation between the physical body and the spiritual body regarding desegregation. Dr. King felt as though the physical was free for most black people, yet still, the spiritual was bound to the segregation that it had been subjected to. Dr. King also recognizes that part of integration requires freedom to engage in rights such as voting and participating in elective processes in different capacities.
According to Dr. King, these social-ethical issues are important because of their change to the nation. Dr. King evaluates that integration will provide worldwide respect that will be emulated and may influence this particular action in some parts of the world. Dr. King evaluates that people are only happy when their physical and spirituality are together, which brings about equality that eliminates the unhappiness and resentment brought about by segregation in its early years. This inclusivity that allows for freedoms such as voting gives a chance for people of different races to choose their leaders, negotiate policy, and a way of living to provide a future for their offspring. This may in itself lead to the eradication of poverty brought about by oppression, segregation, and being denied equal opportunities.
