That has been since then though. He was extremely successful then! Both the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act were accomplished, dismantling segregation. SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act a few years ago, which is why we are where we are today with voter suppression.

Please see earlier reply: Gandhi and King failed to be non-violent: their violent deaths speak to this; the violence in Memphis was due to lack of security and lack of unconditional love…WE CAN…do better…as Moshe Feldenkrais liked to say: it’s all about bettering the best😉❤️
