In some historical periods when man has been desperate for solutions, men of the cloth have always come up to lead a struggle as important and as moral as any can be. The preacher from Alabama, Martin Luther King Jr. was one such person. His leadership and that of other personalities enhanced the very development of the Civil rights movements that challenged one of the greatest obstacles that NAACP faced. This was the segregation laws that continued to deny the black man the benefit of the American dream. However, to Martin Luther King, it was not a question of the blacks alone, but a question of every person who was denied their rightful place in the United States present and history because of the color of their skin. This was basically a significant aspect of his struggle and he espoused it in every possible way. It is important to understand the general positioning of the issues that affected the society at the time. Moreover, since there was a significant assessment of the realities of the time, it became more important for the struggle to assess the realities of the Nation’s segregation policies. Some of the obstacles that the Civil rights movement faced included the Jim Crow laws of the South and some parts of the center and east, including Washington D.C. The civil rights movement also faced significant extremism from White supremacists led by the Khu Klux Klan as well as the continued repression by government in various ways.
