Was Martin Luther King, Jr., a “radical”? Would there have been a civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s without him? What motivated the sit-ins and Freedom Rides?  What did they accomplish? What conditions are necessary for nonviolence to succeed as  a political technique? Why did some African Americans reject King’s call for nonviolence  in the civil rights movement? Who deserves more credit for the civil rights advances of  the 1960s, Martin Luther King or Lyndon Baines Johnson?
