Izvi zvakaita kuti titaure pamusoro pekuti hazvigoneke kufanofembera kuti zvii zvinokonzeresa chiitiko chekuratidzira, kunyangwe kusawirirana kuri kupikisana newe.
Panguva imwecheteyo, isu tese takarera David Hartsough anga ari muratidziri wezvemitemo kwemakore makumi matanhatu. Takatanga kutaura nyaya dzaanonyora nezvadzo mumemoir yake, Kufambisa Runyararo: Iyo Global Adventures yeHupenyu Hwose Muratidziri. Nhau dzake dzinoshamisa dzinoratidza kuti kutora matanho akashinga uye akatsunga anogona kukurudzira vamwe uye kunyange kutungamira kune shanduko yekuchinja.
David akatanga kuratidzira kwehupenyu hwake hwose muna 1956 paaiva nemakore gumi nemashanu. Baba vake, Ray Hartsough, vaive mushumiri weCongregational aiita basa rerunyararo reQuaker, vakaenda naye kuMontgomery, AL. Vakasvika mwedzi mina mubhazi guru rekodzero dzevanhu rakanga ratanga apo Rosa Parks yakaramba kuenda kuseri kwebhazi.
David akaona chokwadi chekusarura kwaJim Crow uye mhirizhonga yaiitirwa maAfrica America, kunyanya yakanangana nemakereke avo. Haana kunzwisisa kuti vaKristu vachena vaigona sei kuita izvi kuvaKristu vatema. Chiitiko chekuona kubhomba kwaichinja hupenyu, anonyora:
Ndakatoshamiswa zvikuru kuti vanyajambwa vechisimba chacho vairamba vachitaura kuti vakanga vasingazoregi kurwira kururamisira—uye kuti vakanga vakazvipira kuedza kuda vavengi vavo. Ndakabayiwa mwoyo nevanhu vakawanda vaisarudza kufamba zvine chiremerera pane kukwira mabhazi sevagari verudzi rwechipiri. Kuvaona vachimuka kweawa mangwanani-ngwanani kuti vafambe kuenda kubasa uye vachidzokera kumba kweawa imwe gare gare kupfuura nguva dzose usiku—vachiramba kuvenga vanhu vakanga vachiisa gadziriro inovengwa yokusarurana uye kugadzira nhamo iyi—kwakandikurudzira zvikuru uye kuchichinja upenyu kwandiri.
David akasangana kwenguva pfupi Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. muMontgomery apo King aingova nemakore makumi maviri nematanhatu. Anoona, achitarisa kumashure, kuti pakanga pasina nzira yekuziva panguva iyoyo kuti Mambo aizove mumwe wevanhu vane mukurumbira munhoroondo yeUS uye kuti kusaita mhirizhonga kwaizokanganisa mafambiro kweupenyu hwese hwaDavid. Hongu, panguva ino nguva Mambo akange achiri kudzidza nezvekusaita mhirizhonga uye mashandisiro ekuita shanduko yezvematongerwo enyika.
Imwe yenyaya dzatakaudza Mack naLee yaive nyaya ine simba yekusaita mhirizhonga. Mwedzi mishanu mushure mekunge Hartsough apinda kuHoward University, muna Kukadzi 1, 1960, vadzidzi vana vekuGreensboro, NC vakagara pasi pakaunda yekudya kwemasikati yeWoolworth ndokutanga bato rekugara richida kuti kusarurana kumaresitorendi kupere. David nevamwe vaaidzidza navo vakaratidzira muMaryland umo rusarura rwakanga rwuripo asi vakazofunga kuenda kudunhu rakaoma zvikuru reVirginia, uko muArlington, George Lincoln Rockwell, muvambi weAmerican Nazi Party, akatyisidzira kuti aizouraya chero munhu upi zvake anopikisa mitemo yerusarura yeVirginia.
On June 10th, David akabatana gumi African American vadzidzi kubva Howard uye mukadzi chena kubva imwe koreji mumoyo ruvengo uye akagara pasi pakaunda yemasikati paPeople's Drug Store muArlington. Muridzi wacho akaudza mapurisa kuti asavasunge achibva avhara kaunda yekudya kwemasikati. Kushevedzera kweruvengo rwemarudzi kwakanzwika, vanhu vaipotsera zvinhu kwavari, vakavapfira mate, vakatungidza mudzanga pasi pembatya dzavo uye mumwe akakanda pfuti. Mauto emuAmerica eNazi akaoneka. Dzakarohwa zvibhakera ndokutsikwa pasi. Vakagara kwemaawa 16 kusvikira chitoro chavharwa zuva iroro. Ipapo, vakadzokazve kwezuva rechipiri.
Pazuva rechipiri, David akave nehupenyu hunochinja akatarisana nechokwadi chekuratidzira kusina mhirizhonga. Pakupera kwezuva rechipiri Dhavhidhi achifungisisa nezvemashoko eMharidzo yepaGomo, anoti, “Idai vavengi venyu . . . kana kuti ndichabaya izvi pamwoyo wako.” Dhavhidhi akaona murume aiva neruvengo rwaibuda mumaziso ake aibvira moto, ane rushaya rwaidedera, uye ruoko rwaibvunda akabata chibatiso—inenge hafu yeinji kubva pamwoyo waDhavhidhi.
David nevamwe vake vakanga vadzidzira kuita chisimba pasina chisimba. Kuda muvengi wako kwakangoerekana kwabva padzidziso nehuzivi kuenda kuchokwadi chinonetsa. Nenguva pfupi David akapindura kuti “Shamwari, ita zvaunotenda kuti zvakarurama, uye ndicharamba ndichiedza kukuda.” Rushaya neruoko zvemurume zvakadonha. Akafuratira achibva abuda muchitoro. Yakanga iri nguva apo David akadzidza nzira iyo rudo runogona kukunda ruvengo. David akafungisisa nezvenguva yacho ndokuona kuti kwete chete kuti akanga aita chinhu chakanaka, asi akanga aita chinhu chinobudirira.
Vadzidzi vakanga vachitya uye vaine nzara; vakasarudza kunyora chirevo kunharaunda vachikurudzira kupera kwekusarura. Vakamira pamukova vakaiverenga. Vakagumisa nevimbiso yokuti: “Kana pasina chachinja muvhiki imwe chete, tichadzoka.”
Kwemazuva matanhatu vakatya kudzokera. Vaizova neushingi hwekutarisana neruvengo, rusaruraganda nemhirizhonga here? Vakafuridzirwa nezviito zvakafanana munyika yose, nevamwe vakatarisana nenjodzi huru. Vakagadzirira kudzokera. Pazuva rechitanhatu vakafonerwa vachivaudza kuti makaunda ekudya kwemasikati muArlington aizove asisagarwi mukupera kwaChikumi. Vakuru vechitendero vakanga vataura nevakuru vemabhizimisi. Pamwe chete vakafungisisa nezvenyaya yacho uye vakasarudza kupedza rusarura.
Paiva nezvidzidzo zvakawanda kuna Dhavhidhi, uye zvino zvidzidzo zvakawanda kwatiri. Hushingi, kushingirira, Strategic nonviol
Iyi ingori imwe yenyaya dzakawanda dzehondo yaDavid Hartsough refu uye yakanaka yerunyararo nekururamisira inorondedzerwa muWaging Peace. Dhavhidhi anopfuurira kuva anokurudzira mubasa rake nhasi.
