Explanation:

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a call to action in his address to mobilise a multiracial movement of America's poor. In his search for potential partners for his Poor People's Campaign, he made many trips around the country, including New York City.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "Other America" lecture at Stanford University in 1967, addressing racial, poverty, and economic inequalities that plagued American society at the time.

King outlines the two Americas that exist side by side in his address. The first is "the habitat of millions of people who have access to food and other basic requirements for their bodies, as well as culture and education for their minds, and freedom and human dignity for their spirits."
