2. On what grounds did King and other civil rights activists argue for Respect and equality?
3. What were some of the other segments of the movement and why did they split from MLK?
4. Why were whites like the KKK and Jim Clark so wedded to Jim Crow?

The discussion questions are intended to synthesize the information from the modules lectures, readings, and media. You should be familiar with this material before attempting any discussion postings. Carefully think about the teachers posted questionand craft a thoughtful and well organized response. (I suggest that you create your response on a word processor and double check it forclarity, depth, complete sentences, and careless errors before posting it online.) I do not require you to include citations in yourpostings, but I do expect them to be thoughtful, well written, college level mini-essays that include specific evidence to back up your statements. (1-2 paragraphs)
