I think MLK would focus more on poverty and helping people who dont have a lot of money. I also think he would fight for equal rights for woman and people of color. It says in the text "shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short. On April 4, 1968, he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 39."

I think that MLK would focus his efforts on housing rights and economic issues such as inflation, poverty, etc. In the article it states "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short." Therefore, this shows that MLK was focusing his efforts on economic issues and housing rights. Thus, if MLK was stil alive, since he was unable to achieve his previous goal, he'd try his best to do so in present day.

I think he would focus on ending discrimination and creating an equal system for everyone in the world. According to the article, it states "Many people believe that if King were alive today, he would support the groups protesting for change in 2018...".

If MLK were still alive today, he would likely focus his efforts into trying to change poverty. Even with less discrimination today than 50 years ago, people of color don't have the same educational or economic opportunities as other races. Based on the edited interview of his daughter Bernice, "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America. We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster...had he lived, we would see a drastic difference today."

If MLK were to be alive today, I think he would still focus on the discrimination towards African Americans. After all, that is what he was trying to abolish before. This idea could also be supported by what is happening now— many African Americans were killed by U.S policemen. As someone like MLK, he would most likely step in and speak upon the deaths of his people. Furthermore, in the article it is shown that his determination in BLM movement in the early years is undoubtedly one of the most famous and yet influential impact to society.

I think he would focus on poverty issues because according to the text, it states he would focus on poverty issues and housing right for blacks, but I think he would generalize it for everyone

Some issues king would focus on today if he was still alive is to support black people and try raise awareness to how African Americans are being treated and fight against the discrimination against African Americans. For example in the text it states “ Many people believe that if King were alive today, he would support the groups protesting for change in 2018…which seeks to end discrimination in the criminal justice system.” In addition I think he will also try to solve poverty issues and give housing rights for African- Americans.

In my opinion, I think that Martin Luther King Jr. would be still fighting for equality for all races during this time. He would use all his efforts to make people have equailty treatments. He would also be fighting for hate crime rates that are happening in the USA. He would stand up for people who are being targeted. I think King would still focus on the issue of racism today if he was still alive because there are still problems of racism today. For example, "Still, America continues to struggle with some of the same problems that King faced. Statistics show, for example, that many blacks lack the same economic or educational opportunities as whites. Many blacks also live in less wealthy neighborhoods."

One of King's main issue is the fact that the African Americans were still treated badly this day due to their skin tone. And while he was trying to stop slavery and make every men equal, he had to go through hardship such as being beaten and frequently being sent death threats. But he never stopped and eventually was able to make the Civil Rights Movement and state his speech in Washington D.C.
Collin

The issues that King would focus his efforts on if he were still alive today would be discrimination in the criminal justice system and police brutality. He would focus his efforts on police brutality because black Americans are targeted more by the law enforcement. In addition, the King would say that black Americans don't get enough justice for the discrimination they get. According to "MLK 50 years later", "blacks are 2.5 times as likely as whites to be shot and killed by law enforcement officers." This shows that African Americans are more vulnerable to shootings by law enforcement, and face more injustice.

I think one issue king would focus his efforts on is police brutality because of police are killing innocent, unarmed African Americans, this problem being the reason for the black lives matter movement.

I think Martin Luther King Jr. if he is still alive, would mainly focus on the BLM movement, the equal pay protests, discrimination within different races, (etc...) I think this would be the case mostly because while he still alive, he focused a lot on these things and for him, seeing the same things happening today, I think he would continue to do the same.
Riley

I think that King would focus his efforts on poverty if he were alive today. I think this is because it is a major issue that has to do with inequality which he spoke out against. In addition, towards the end of his life, he was fighting for housing rights for African Americans. Also, in spring of 1968, he was preparing to stage a huge rally in Washington DC to raise awareness about people living in poverty, so this is clearly something he is passionate about. In conclusion, he would also support the groups of people protesting for change including NFL players who kneel for the national anthem and nurses going on strike to fight for more pay.

As poverty is still a major concern in today's society, I believe that if King were still alive, he would focus his efforts on this subject. for instance, "We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster. I think that would be a heavy focus for him and had he lived."
Ada
1/25/2023 06:53:51 pm
I think MLK would have focus on the problem of social stratification if here were alive today because in today's world wealth and looks defines the majority of a person. An example stated in the text is, "We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster. I think that would be a heavy focus for him and had he lived, we would see a drastic difference today." This shows that King's daughter believes he would have focused on a topic related to poverty.

Morgan

I think MLK would focus his efforts on poverty and helping people get out of it. I think he would also fight for equal rights for people of color. I think this because in the text it states "shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans...." This shows that if his life was not cut short, he would probably shift his efforts towards helping people get out of poverty and fight for equaal rights.

I think that Martin Luther King Jr. would still be fighting for equality for all races during this time. He would use whatever he can so that everyone is equal like what he did when he was still alive. It would be very important for someone to step up like he did and make sure that everyone is equal.
Hui Zheng

I think that king would still focus on racial equality since it is still a big of a problem as back them but at the same time i think that king will focus more of the poor and since it has became more of an issue in the present while racial equality has became better. i also think he will try to help with police brutality since it had been a big problem lately.

I think that if Martin Luther King Jr. was still alive till this day, he would focus his efforts on poverty of America. Not only is the racism in this world that still impacts others, but "poverty is a monster". For example, it states "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African-Americans, his life was tragically cut short." This shows us that right before he had passed away, he had been thinking of the issues of poverty that had been a very high task and effort he wanted to help solve.

I think that the issues that Martin Luther King would be facing today is racism. Today racism is still happening because innocent black people are being killed by law enforcement police for no good reason. Martin fought for equal rights for blacks and if he hears this he will be enraged and would protest peacefully. For example, "Many people believe that if King were alive today, he would support the groups protesting for change in 2018."

I think that if MLK were alive today he would still be working on equal rights and stuff like that but also more modern problems that we face more of today than we did back then such as poverty and world hunger and maybe even global warming.

I think that MLK would focus his efforts on housing rights and economic issues such as inflation, poverty, etc. In the article it states "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short." Therefore, this shows that MLK was focusing his efforts on economic issues and housing rights. So if MLK was still alive he would focus on the health and economy of others.

I think that MLK would focus on poverty today because even though racism is still a serious issue poverty is bigger. And today there are many people campaign to end poverty but poverty still hasn't ended yet so that would be a topic he would focus on because he was focusing on it when he died.

If King were still alive today, he would focus on poverty issues. I think this because at the end of his life before he was assassinated, he focused on this issue. In addition, poverty is still a problem today, and according to King's daughter, King would definitely continue on focusing on the issue poverty. For instance, "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America. We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster. I think that would be a heavy focus for him and had he lived, we would see a drastic difference today." This shows that King's daughter thinks that King would definitely continue focusing on the topic poverty and make a change.

If MLK were still alive today, I think he would focus on discrimination against black people by police officers or poverty issues because back when he was still alive, he gave the whole speech about segregation and like how blacks and whites deserve equal rights. Even after so many years, racism still exists, its kind of sad. Furthermore, the text states, "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America. We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster...had he lived, we would see a drastic difference today." showing how maybe MLK couldve made a difference in the society we have now.

Many blacks also live in less- wealthy neighborhoods.” This shows that many of the problems he was advocating for are still a issue in today’s society.

Liam

I believe that King would focus most of his efforts towards the high poverty rate in the black community This is an issue because for some reason, 20% of people below the poverty line are black, compared to the 8% in the white and Asian communities. An example stated in the text is, "We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster. I think that would be a heavy focus for him and had he lived, we would see a drastic difference today."

Statistics show, for example, that many blacks lack the same economic or educational opportunities as whites. Many blacks also live in lesswealthy neighborhoods. Also in recent years, police killings of unarmed African-Americans have made headlines." This shows that racism is still an issue that Americans struggle with.

Id MLK was still alive, I believe he would focus mainly on racism followed by poverty.

This shows he actually did want to help to awareness about poverty and he also wanted to stop the racism since it was a big deal back then and even in now days

In addition, his daughter states that if her father was still alive, he would most likely focus on poverty. She says "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America.

I think if Martin Luther King Jr. were to be alive today, he would focus his efforts on what he had been doing and was planning to have done, to fight for the nation to stand up to its words, "that all men are created equal," and to fight for housing rights to those who were seen as "different." This is what I believe King would have done because as stated in the text, "Even as King’s legacy has influenced a new generation of activists, his long-ago dream of equality has yet to be fully realized." This shows that although Martin Luther King Jr. had a legacy of accomplishments and success, his goals of equality still has not been met, most likely meaning if he were still alive, he would continue what he had started, to fight for equality. In addition the text also stated, "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African- Americans, his life was tragically cut short. On April 4, 1968, he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 39." This piece of the text shows that before King's death, he had shifted his attention towards poverty and housing rights, likely meaning if he hadn't been assassinated at that time, he would have started a new movement related to fighting for housing rights to all.

If MLK was still alive today, his focus of effort would be on poverty. As stated in a interview with MLK's daughter, they questioned her what her father be doing if he was alive today and she stated, "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America. We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster..." This shows as Bernice Kings had said that her father would most likely to be focusing on addressing poverty.

I think if King were still alive today, he would continue to fight the discrimination faced by African-Americans.

This shows that equally is still not achieved for all and I think King would be someone who would try to work towards a better future for everyone.

If King was still alive today, I think he would address people living in lower class conditions. For example, the text states, "He was in the I think that if Martin Luther King Jr is still alive to today. He would focus on the economic issue of African Americans as one of the prior focus. It is because that many of the African Americans aren't as wealthy as the White people. In the text, it stated, "Still, America continues to struggle with some of the same problems that King faced. Statistics show, for example, that many blacks lack the same economic or educational opportunities as whites. Many blacks also live in less wealthy neighborhoods." Therefore, it shows that he would focus on supporting economic as one of the important factors.

I think that King would focus on equality and economic/education for Black Americans because these are all current issues and issues that King wanted to shift his attention to back then. For example, based on the text, "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African- Americans, his life was tragically cut short." In Addition, according to the text, " Still, America continues to struggle with some of the same problems that King faced. Statistics show, for example, that many blacks lack the same economic or educational opportunities as whites. Many blacks also live in less- wealthy neighborhoods. Also in recent years, police killings of unarmed African-Americans have made headlines. Their killings have ignited massive protests. According to a 2016 analysis by The Washington Post, blacks are 2.5 times as likely as whites to be shot and killed by law enforcement officers." These show the issues that if King were alive today, would focus his efforts on.

I think Dr.King Jr would focus his efforts on multi-racial hate. Because of past events, many colored people including men and women from different races have been discriminated in multiple ways. Dr.King Jr specialized in speeches and putting down racism, Dr.King maybe would give another speech on multiple racist events that occurs today, varying from asian hate to black hate.

I think MLK would focus on working towards equality for everyone. It says in the text, “His words were an impassioned call for racial equality for African-Americans.” This was from the speech/ protest rally he helped organize. However, I think he would also try to help housing rights and poverty. It says in the text, “A few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short.” This shows that if he had not been killed he would have continued trying to help this issue.

For example, the text states, "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America. We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster". This shows that King would have tried to help both issues.
Christopher
1/26/2023 06:58:30 pm
I think King would focus his efforts on poverty and equality for all the races if he was still alive because he had a history of always taking a stand on letting everyone have equal treatment and ending poverty. For instance, the text states, "in addition to helping achieve passage of the Civil Rights Act, King played a pivotal role in securing voting rights for African-Americans... This protest and others led to President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965." Furthermore, King, "was also preparing to stage a massive rally in Washington to raise awareness about poverty." Both of these examples show how King was always fighting for equality and poverty in the past, and thus, would still support these topics in the present.
Kevin
1/26/2023 07:01:47 pm
I think MLK will still focus his efforts on black people right because black people are still protesting about there right so MLK will likely join them and help them get right. One example from the text is “ Black Lives Matter movement, which seeks to end discrimination in the criminal justice system”. This show black people protesting about right and MLK is probably going to join in on the protest because he did the samething in his time.
Elena J
1/26/2023 07:12:31 pm
In 2023, MLK would fight for increasing the wages of Black people who are working in America. This is because back when he was alive he fought to end segregation, and he accomplished that. But even with segregation no longer a thing there is still an unfairness in the economy between how much African Americans earn. For example, "Statistics show, for example, that many blacks lack the same economic or educational opportunities as whites.". Therefore, this shows that King would fight to to make them more equal because the not balanced wages are unjust.

MLK would prioritize the abolition of issues such as poverty and discrimination. Before he died, MLK worked hard to combat discrimination and segregation within the United States, which is most likely something he would still work towards if he were still alive. In the article, it states, "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short." This demonstrates that MLK focused the majority of his efforts on ending poverty and discrimination against African Americans. Since MLK was unable to accomplish his earlier goal, he would therefore make every effort to do so today if he were still alive.

In my opinion, I think MLK would focus his efforts on equality for all and ending racism. MLK fought for the inequality black people got, but now other races are still experiencing racism and if MLK was still alive today he would notice it and stand up to it. For example, MLK did a march costing his life in an attempt to end discrimination towards black people. For instance, in the article it says,”They’d assembled for the March on Washington, a protest rally he had helped organize.”

Some issues I think King would focus his efforts on if he were still alive today would be police brutality and the BLM movement.

I think that MLK would prioritize housing rights and economic problems like inflation, poverty, etc. But only a few years later, while King was turning his focus to concerns of poverty and housing rights for African Americans, his life was brutally cut short, according to the story. This demonstrates that MLK concentrated his work on housing rights and economic issues. Thus, if MLK were still alive, he would make every effort to accomplish his current aim in light of the fact that he was unable to do it in the past.

Also, in spring of 1968, he was preparing to stage a huge rally in Washington DC to raise awareness about people living in poverty, thus showing how he cares about people living in poverty.

I think that if MLK was alive today something he would focus on the inequality in between the races and he would try to make everyone equal and try to have no hate crimes

I think if MLK were alive today, he might have have focused on trying to change poverty, because the text says "in a few years, when king turned his attention to African American poverty and housing rights."

If MLK was still alive today, I think he would support both inequality and poverty because we still have both of these major topics surrounding our world. These are things that determine our status and who we are to others. For example, in the text it says "Many people believe that if King were

If MLK was still alive today, he would focus on changing discrimination against black people. That’s because he wants everyone to be equal.

I think if MLK was still alive today, he would focus on helping people in need. People who live in poverty, people who face racism, sexism, or discrimination against who they are.

If MLK was alive today, I think he will continue to fight for equal rights. In addition, he might also fight for poverty and housing among African Americans. In the text, it states” Many people believe that, if King were alive today, he would support the groups protesting for change…”

I believe MLK would concentrate his efforts on housing rights and economic issues such as inflation, poverty, and more. According to the article, "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short.". This demonstrates that MLK was concentrating his efforts on economic issues and housing rights towards the end of his life. So, if MLK were still alive, I believe he would still be trying to achieve his previous goal. I think MLK would focus on racial discrimination because in the text it says"Many people believe that if King were alive today, he would support the groups protesting for change in 2018…which seeks to end discrimination in the criminal justice system.”he would also focus on inequality to make everything fair for everyone ( every race). I think he would also focus on poverty.

I think MLK would likely focus on poverty and opportunities for people of color and woman. He would also probably help the youth of today to be more tolerant. For example on the article it says"Statistics show, that many blacks lack the same

I think mlk would focus on racism because in this time period, racism is a big thing and he would fight for equality because he wants all colored people to be equal If MLK was still alive today, his focus of effort would be on poverty. As stated in a interview with MLK's daughter, they questioned her what her father be doing if he was alive today and she stated, "He was in the middle of trying to address poverty in America. We [still] have serious racism, but poverty is a monster..." This shows as Bernice Kings had said that her father would most likely to be focusing on addressing poverty.

I would think that if MLK was alive during this time period he would contribute to fight for equality and other issues such as economic issues. For example, according to the text it states that, "But just a few years later, as King was shifting his attention toward poverty issues and housing rights for African Americans, his life was tragically cut short.” This shows that if MLK had more time before he tragically passed away he would’ve turned his attention to the economic issues of our world.

If MLK were to be still alive, then we would to focus on trying to stop people from being racist and to stop people from judging their own race. I thought of this because he gave out his speech mainly to end the problem on segregation between the black and white people. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
