Answer:

Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Luther says " tired of being segregated and humiliated, tired of being kicked about by the brutal feet of oppression.

He gives human-like qualities to oppression, therefore I would think it is personification also as I used the process of elimination to reassure myself.

Hopefully this helps! :)
