Best Answer

Martin Luther King Jr. stood up for everything he believed in, and he did it in a peaceful manor. He believed African Americans shouldn't have been treated the way they were. Some of his followers fought back against the ones who were prejudice against Africans, but when they came to Martin, he was more upset with his followers then the others. He felt that one pure, truthful voice was louder then a group of yelling liars and criminals. He was a very wise man and when he died only a few of his followers fought back, the rest continued his ways by peacefully protesting those who put them down.
