50 years ago, many places in the United States had laws called Jim Crow laws that were unfair to black Americans. Some of those laws made it hard for them to vote in elections, or get good jobs, or even eat in the same restaurants as white people. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his life working to change those laws and help black Americans get the same civil rights as white Americans.

How did Martin Luther King face racism?
In my honest opinion I feel that Martin Luther King faced racism by looking at the situation in a different light. Yes, whites did not like blacks and yes there was a lot of violence, but I think he turned to God and with God's help he saw through the racism. He encouraged others to protest without violence and try to find a peaceful means to end the racism. He went to jail fighting for what he believed in. I think to be honest this is an opinion question to some like it is to me. This is how I see he faced racism.
