From the Paper
"The Montgomery bus boycott went on for over a year, with huge protests among southern blacks. King was focused on a serious appeal to Christian brotherhood and American idealism of equal rights that led to the Whites outside the South to identify with his wants in a positive manner. In February 1956, ruling of the federal court was in favor of the MIA, whereby the city buses were no longer segregated. King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. This organization comprised of black churches and ministers had the objective of ending racial segregation. King became the president of SCLC and found ways to link the NAACP's legal procedures to end segregation through the courts with other with other SCLC leaders through non-violent protest to end discrimination."

"Martin Luther King, Jr. was a central figure in the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s. King's powerful leadership abilities coupled with his deep religious faith and compassionate nature enabled him to make a significant contribution toward the cause of civil rights. King's primary interest in the movement was to put an end to the practice of racial segregation which was common in the United States during that time. Segregation of the races affected all aspects of life: blacks were largely prohibited from attending the same schools as whites, their occupational opportunities were severely limited, and they were restricted from enjoying many of the rights and pleasures which American society offered to its white citizens. King's religious beliefs and his deep love for humanity motivated him..."

From the Paper
" Neither Martin Luther King, Jr. nor Frederick Douglass were extremists; both argued that African-Americans have a natural right to equality. King and Douglass claimed that black people had been robbed of their equality by white Americans who refused to acknowledge their own hypocrisy by not affording people of color the liberties that were guaranteed them in the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. In using America's stated ideals as the basis for their appeals for equality, King and Douglass sought to influence reasonable Americans, not hard core racists.
Both King and Douglass were recruited into their leadership roles as spokesmen for racial equality. King rose to prominence as a result of his involvement with the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott during the 1950s: "Although King had been in Montgomery.."

"After achieving few of his objectives in Albany, Martin Luther King, Jr. recognized the need to organize a successful protest campaign free of conflicts with SNCC. During the spring of 1963, he and his staff guided mass demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama, where local white police officials were known by their anti-black attitudes. Clashes between black demonstrators and police using police dogs and fire hoses generated newspaper headlines through the world.

He now emphasized unity and change through black pride and respect for oneself rather than through hate and revenge. Dr. King, on the other hand, became somewhat angry at the lack of progress made on equality. He started promoting non-violent sabotage, which including blocking the normal functioning of government.
