Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was known as one of the leaders of the American civil right movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent resistance to racial oppression. As a Baptist minister King knew better then to use violence to fight against the oppression. But this did not mean he would stop from voicing his opinion about the problems that were present.
