Answer 2

Answer: Dr Martin Luther King jr urged his followers to avoid taking buses.

Step-by-step explanation: In the Montgomery Bus Boycott speech, King urged his audience to continue the bus boycott they voted for until they achieved the goal of equal rights for black citizens in Montgomery and elsewhere.

In his speech, he states, "I want to urge you. You have voted [for this boycott], and you have done it with a great deal of enthusiasm, and I want to express my appreciation to you, on behalf of everybody here. Now let us go out to stick together and stay with this thing until the end."

He also offers alternatives, "Automobiles will be at your service, and don’t be afraid to use up any of the gas."
