“Modern psychology has a word that is probably used more than other word in psychology. It is the word ‘maladjusted.’ Certainly we all want to live the well-adjusted life in order to avoid neurotic and schizophrenic personalities. But I must honestly say to you tonight, my friends, that there are some things in our nation and some things in the world for which I am proud to be maladjusted, in which I call all men of goodwill to be maladjusted until the good society is realized. I must honestly say to you that I never intend to adjust myself to segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to religious bigotry. I never intend to become adjusted to economic conditions which will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few. I never intend to adjust to the madness of militarism…” —Martin Luther King Jr., Penn State University, 1965
