Answer:
He was not complaining. The U.S. was literally built on the backs of black people. They were met with hostility, indifference, and federal ambivalence by white America. MLK knew how wrong this was, and decided to do something about it. He lead peaceful non-violent protests, trying to get equal rights for all people. In 1968 1968, 1300 sanitation workers, in Memphis were protesting their terrible working conditions, discrimination, and low pay. They were discriminated against when they were sent home without pay while white workers stayed on the job. They started a strike on February 12, 1968. Shortly thereafter, Martin Luther King Jr. came to Memphis to speak and support the second march of the sanitation workers. The strike lasted for 64 days and grew into one of the major civil rights events. Finally, the city of Memphis agreed to the workers' demands, even though more strikes had to be threatened to make them honor the agreement.
