Answer 1

True. During the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers disobeyed rules that were racially discriminatory. For example, in America then, it was necessary for Blacks and the other non-Whites to sit in the back while the Whites sat in the front. Being a good orator, King was able to lead the team to conduct peaceful and non-violent marches and demonstrations to bring this racial discrimination to the light and try and end it, famous being the 'I Have a Dream' speech.
