Answer 2

Due to the fact that MLK Jr. used civil disobedience to help change the course of laws against blacks. He orchestrated the March on Selma in 1965 , he gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963 and preached about using civil disobedience against the laws restricting blacks and their rights. In the end he gained the attention of many leaders such as JFK before his assassination in 1963 along with Lyndon B. Johnson. MLK Jr. acts led to laws being passed such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , which Lyndon B. Johnson Passed. This act stopped discrimination against races in education and employment along with making Jim Crow laws and Plessy v. Ferguson unconstitutional.
