The correct answer is B, as the civil rights leader and great-grandson of a slave who was one of the best lawyers of his day, winning 13 of the 15 cases he argued before the Supreme Court was Thurgood Marshall.

Thurgood Marshall was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, serving from October 2, 1967 until October 1, 1991, the first African-American Associate Justice of the country.

Before becoming a judge, Marshall was a lawyer who was best known for his high success in arguing before the Supreme Court, and for winning the Brown v. Board of Education case, a decision that prevented racial segregation in public schools.

Read the sentence from the section "Capitalism."
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor”

Explanation:

King understood well the connection between poverty and capitalism. The year before his death, on 31 August 1967, he delivered “The Three Evils of Society” speech at the first and only National Conference on New Politics in Chicago.

When we foolishly maximize the minimum and minimize the maximum we sign the warrant for our own day of doom.It is this moral lag in our thing-oriented society that blinds us to the human reality around us and encourages us in the greed and exploitation which creates the sector of poverty in the midst of wealth. Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the protestant ethic of hard word and sacrifice. The fact is that Capitalism was build on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor—both black and white, both here and abroad. . .The way to end poverty is to end the exploitation of the poor.

That’s the kind of analysis that made King so controversial in mainstream circles in his later years, and that has remained buried for the past 50 years under the exclusive focus on dreams and mountaintops.
