A) He warns people against bitterness and hatred. B)He states that 1963 is a beginning, not an end. C) He gives examples of denied citizenship rights. D)He states that people should not be guilty of wrongful deeds.

Answer 1

I'm mostly think of C. because blacks didnt have rights at that time

Answer 2

C) He gives examples of denied citizenship rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. King states that Black people in America do not enjoy the freedoms they are meant to enjoy (granted by the Constitution). They also do not enjoy full citizenship. In order to show how this is the case, Dr. King gives examples of denied citizenship rights. Jim Crow laws in particular were very restrictive of rights for African Americans. They did not allow them to move freely, study in the school they desired or marry the person they loved.
