Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the strategy Martin Luther King Jr. promoted to advance the civil rights movement. This requires evaluating each listed approach.
Option 1: 'nonviolence' — This is the cornerstone of King's philosophy and civil rights strategy. He advocated peaceful protests, moral suasion, and civil disobedience as a means to challenge unjust laws without resorting to violence. The idea was to expose injustice through peaceful action and gain national and international support.
Option 2: 'noncooperation' — While related in spirit to civil resistance, noncooperation is a broader term that can include both peaceful and non-peaceful tactics. King emphasized nonviolent methods specifically; he did not promote aggression or coercive actions that could violate moral principles. Therefore, this option is not the precise label for his primary approach.
Option 3: 'an eye for an eye' — This phrase describes a retaliatory, vengeful justice approach, which stands in stark contrast to King’s philosophy of nonviolence and reconciliation. It mischaracterizes his method, which sought to transform society through disciplined, peaceful means rather than retaliation.
Option 4: 'microaggression' — Microaggressions are subtle, everyday slights or insults faced by marginalized groups. While relevant to the broader context of discrimination, this term does not describe King's strategic approach or movement tactics. It neither captures his method nor his organized campaigns.
In summary, the only option that accurately names King's approach as he promoted it is nonviolence, while the other choices either describe related but not identical concepts or mischaracterize his strategy.
