Martin Luther King Jr. and Civil Disobedience

Question 6 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

What is King’s claim in this passage?

Answer
A
Now is the right time to take action against racial injustice in Birmingham.
B
The new mayor will be more open to negotiations than the previous mayor.
C
All city administrators are more or less the same.
D
Civil rights activists should have waited for the election of a new mayor before taking action.

Explanation

King’s claim is that civil rights action should happen now, rather than being delayed. He argues that waiting for political changes would not end the injustice faced by Black residents in Birmingham. Therefore, choice A, “Now is the right time to take action against racial injustice in Birmingham,” best states his claim.
