Question

The bus boycott lasted for 382 days. Most of Montgomery's African American community walked, rode bicycles, or carpooled to avoid taking the bus. They often faced harassment and violence from angry fellow citizens. King's home was fire-bombed during the boycott, but he did not give up. He launched a legal campaign against racial segregation laws. On June 4, 1956, the laws were overturned. African Americans would now be allowed to sit where they liked, like all other Americans. The Montgomery Bus Boycott propelled Martin Luther King to the forefront of the national civil rights movement.

In 1957, Martin Luther King, Jr. founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference so that he could continue to help organize and conduct more nonviolent protests for civil rights. He traveled around the country speaking about race relations and joined in many peaceful protests. He was arrested a number of times during these years. King was arrested once for joining students at a sit-in protest at a department store that refused to serve lunch to African Americans. In the spring of 1963, King was arrested again during a demonstration in Birmingham, Alabama. King had been peacefully protesting alongside many families.

Text 2: Excerpt from a speech delivered at Martin Luther King, Jr.'s funeral

This man was loved by some and hated by others. If any man knew the meaning of suffering, King knew. His house was bombed. He lived day by day for 13 years under constant threats of death. He was falsely accused of being insincere and seeking the limelight for his own glory. He was stabbed by a member of his own race. He was slugged in a hotel lobby and jailed 30 times. He was betrayed by his friends, yet this man had no bitterness in his heart and no revenge in his mind. He preached nonviolence and the redemptive power of love throughout the world. He believed with all of his heart, mind, and soul that the way to peace and brotherhood is through nonviolence, love, and suffering.

Which of the following was not a way that King fought for equality for all? Use both texts to determine the answer.

a
Being willing to be arrested for the cause

b
Leading sit-in protests and boycotts

c
Hosting noisy riots and violent protests

d
Preaching love, peace, and nonviolence
