Question

What criticisms does king level at American society

Answer 1

Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a Dream" speech.

Explanation: King basically criticizes the nation when he claims he has a dream that everyone would be created equal. It is criticism because he talks about the segregation, racism, etc in the world. Although he had a point that African Americans were not treated the same way that white people were, he was still technically criticizing the American society very much when he went against what was "set", basically meaning he stood up for himself.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The criticisms that King leveled at American society were that the American society was passive against the many injustices committed against African Americans and other minorities. We are referring to the document called "Letter From the Birmingham Jail," written by civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 16, 1963, while King was arrested in jail. In the letter, King defended and explain his non-violent approach as a way to protest.
