Both the federal and local governments posed significant challenges to Martin Luther King Jr.'s efforts for civil rights. The federal government, under President Lyndon B. Johnson, often prioritized maintaining public order over civil rights, leading to hesitance in fully supporting King's initiatives. Local governments, particularly in the South, frequently employed violent repression, including police brutality and legal harassment, to suppress protests and demonstrations organized by King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. This combination of political pressure and violent opposition created a hostile environment for King's activism.
