What was it like in America at the time of Martin Luther King?
I am doing homework on martin luther king and one of the questions are What was it like in america at the time of martin luther king? Ive tried looking on the internet but i can’t really find anything…
Could anyone help me?
I’ve done the rest of my homework and researched the rest actually I just needed help on this one question because I couldn’t find anything from real people on the internet.
Let me give you REAL facts hun.
Schools were segregated between COLORS and WHITES.
(do not let anyone fool you into black/white crap IT WAS ALL COLORS)
Bathrooms,restaurants,water fountains were all marked as "COLORED" and "WHITES" in many areas.
Riots were forming as segregation was being banned and the "Black" community were coming out in force for the same opportunities as white people.
MLK taught love and peace in a time of great debate,it’s that very idea that got him killed.
Good Luck hope I helped!=)

edit: Just to add some more interesting facts to you this was common among most communities in the american south,I am native american and I have studied a lot about these times because it has said little about my people during these times,ALL colored persons were treated as "the second class race" and that being said was the REAL TRUTH of the era love.. if you have to use one answer "segregation was being faught against" that will be your best answer hun;)

Really? I wondering have our school come to this…asking questions on the internet as oppose to doing your own research and homework.
No one is this obtuse not unless it is on purpose.
