“An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.”

Choose an event or incident that occurred between the end of World War II and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that exemplifies Martin Luther King, Jr.’s message.
