Question

The efforts of martin luther king, Jr and the black panthers to reform economic injustice

Answer 1

Although not many people know this, the civil rights act that they supported and fought for was actually an economic act primarily. It dealt with ending segregation in employment and disenfranchising workers and allowing African-Americans to live and work together with white people. This is why they fought for it since african-americans were forced to live in poverty and dread because of lack of economic support.
