MLK Jr. was not alive to see the bulk of the civil rights act. Most of it was passed a week after his assassination, after the worst riots America had ever seen. Wonder what changed and forced the state’s hand?
No, he became less of a Black Nationalist and more accepting of white allies in the struggle, but he continued to believe that armed militias should protect black communities if the cops refuse to, at least as far as I know of him.
Did Malcolm X ever actually abandon his position of self-defense by any means necessary?
No
MLK Jr. never did either
It’s an attempt to whitewash history to convince people that pacifism is The One True Path to Equality™

Cool, I thought I missed something.
