Question

Martin Luther King says he would rather

live “just a few years in the last half of the 20th century” than any other
time in history
Why did he feel this way?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the African Americans had begun the long road to equality. There was evidence that it was working in his favor. There were people being elected to Congress and the Senate who were African American. There was a Supreme Court Justice chosen who was black. Slowly but surely schools and neighborhoods were being integrated. He did not see all of those things. But some were evidently on their way.

Hatred hadn't died. Prejudice wasn't gone. But there were hints.
