Question

Lines 239–254: Cite evidence to explain the opposing view and counterargument that King presents in these lines.

Answer 1

Answer:

These evidences are gotten from his personal experiences, direct quotations, and examples.

Explanation:

King believed that the Vietnam War was diverting money and the attention from domestic programs which were created to help the black poor.

King's counter argument was:

"People will say that I am just a civil rights leader and have no business taking sides on the issue of war."

His argument was:

"The issue of America's soul is my concern whether it be about civil rights or war".

He said, ‘the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor at home…We were taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem.'”
