Martin Luther King Jr. was mainly known for his desire to change the laws and rules in society in regard to the way African Americans were being treated. King gave an important and popular speech during his March on Washington in 1963. However, he also pushed for a stop to the Vietnam War. Many people aren’t aware of this because King was so strong against inequality.
When King gave speeches and showed his opposition to the Vietnam War, he lost some of his liberal allies. Before King was assassinated, some of the allies who had supported him with his vision for equality, all of a sudden were resenting him because he was pushing for a change in the war and that was for the war to end immediately.
