09 Nov MLK response paper
You will write a 1 pg paper minimum over the following 2 questions:
1. Given the 14th and 15th amendments, which guaranteed “equal protection of the laws” and voting
rights irrespective of “race, color, or previous condition of servitude” (and which were ratified in 1868 and
1870, respectively), how did racial segregation and large scale disenfranchisement of black citizens
become entrenched in the South over such a long period of time?
2. Imagine you had been marching beside King on March 9 and that he privately told you about the
turnaround option and then asked for your advice about what to do. What would you have recommended
and why?
