以投票創造改變 Voting for Change

金恩認為除非更多黑人能參與選舉,否則這種狀況不會有所改變,雖然他們有權投票,但僅有少數黑人是註冊的人口,多數的州政府都設有讓黑人難以入籍、投票的規定,金恩認為這些對於選民登記的限制都應一一予以廢除。

金恩作了什麼?

King believed that the situation would not change until more blacks voted in elections. Although they had the legal right to vote, very few blacks were registered, and many states had rules that made it difficult for them to register and vote. King believed that most of the states' voter registration requirements should be removed.

What did King do?
