    nonviolent tone demonstrating hope for a better future. “This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism” (King 6). King’s use of tranquilizing works within the metaphor, “tranquilizing drug of gradualism,” to emphasize the need for action. Tranquilization is meant to put a force down, so King compares gradualism to tranquilization, which in turn advocates proactivity in the movement.
