ANSWER:

The correct answer is A. is "If even one person is affected by injustice, everyone is affected".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Marti Luther King, Jr. was a prominent leader of the "American Civil Rights Movement" that took place during the 1950s and 1960s. He is remembered as a "legendary American figure" in the face of racism and injustice.
  • When he said that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere", he meant that if one person is affected by injustice, everyone is affected.
  • It is because justice should be provided to any rightful citizen and if one doesn’t get justice the others might fear its heir turn next.
