Economic opportunity act of 1964
During the 50s Martin Luther King Jr. was a fierce advocate for the rights of African Americans.
Rights which many believed were denied to them even after the tragic civil war an the poor reconstruction era.
In a response to a call for 'a policy of moderation' Marin Luther King Jr. said that if moderation meant that we should move forward with calm, restraint, non violence and reason, then he was all for a moderation.
However, if moderation meant that they should slow done their movement for justice, equality, rights and freedom of African Americans, then he could not accept a policy of moderation.
At the end, Martin Luther King Jr. believed in the right to ask for justice but without violence and restraint.
