One big obstacle was the racism in American society: when Martin Luther King was growing up, much of America was still segregated and opportunities for black people were very limited. Another problem later on was that he had difficulty convincing his followers to commit to the course of non-violence; some of his followers were very frustrated and angry about the discrimination they endured, and he had to persuade them that patience and non-violence would get the best results and bring positive social change.
