If my memory serves me, he started to edge toward a more widespread disruption of cities and government. Before his death, he was planning to disrupt the national government by having his constituents occupy all the major bridges in and out of Washington D.C.<br /><br />In my recent civil disobedience class, we talked about the reasons he may have changed his style of civil disobedience. The consensus was that attacking poverty and equal opportunity is more difficult than attacking racial discrimination. With the Civil Rights Movement, King had very specific goals and there were concrete institutions that he could target. With equal opportunity, specific goals are hard to identify and the disparities in opportunity and equality cannot be attributed to one institution or policy.<br /><br />Charles HallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
