He was the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as well as Pastor of a large congregation in Atlanta. He was a great orator. He led sit-ins and demonstration throughout the South. He fought valiantly for the rights of Negroes in America. He hated racial segregation in the society. He was the messenger of equality in all sections of the society. He said that black men and white men should be able to join hands. He wished and struggled that the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners should be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. Unfortunately he was assassinated in 1968.
Q 12. What was the condition of Negroes in his days?
Ans. Negroes were in a miserable condition in those days. They were the victims of oppression and cruelty. They had to face great trials and tribulations. Those who spoke for their rights were thrown into narrow jail cells. They were the victims of Police brutality. Society was unjust towards them. There was a discrimination of black and white. They had no rights of getting opportunities in life. They were frustrated and poor economically and socially. They were treated as slaves. They were not judged by their character but by the colour of their skin. They were placed in the lowest social class. They were burning with the heat of injustice and oppression.
Q 13. Write ten lines on racial discrimination.
Ans. Racial discrimination means to differentiate between people on the basis of their race. It means that personality and personal character of a person is valueless and the race he belongs to is everything. No religion allows such discrimination. God has given everybody equal rights. No black is superior to any white and no white is more respectable than any black in terms of their race. No society can flourish if it allows racial discrimination. It is the responsibility of a government to make the society impartial and unbiased. No nation and no country can make progress if it has the impediments of race and colour.

The writer wishes that one day his nation will learn the true meaning of its creed. Everyone will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. Children will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character. He has a strong faith that the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. He hopes that people will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that they will be free one day.
Q 15. What are the measures you can take to ensure the justice with all sections of society?
Ans. It is really very difficult to make a society free of injustice and cruelty. In every society the rich and the powerful become usurpers and violate law and order in the country. If I am to ensure justice in society I will have to perform a miracle. The law enforcing agencies should be activated and nobody should be unaccountable for his misdeeds. The levels of accountability must be same for everybody. Every culprit how powerful he is must be brought to book. The courts should be made free of any interference. Nobody should influence the judges by using unfair means. I shall definitely try to avoid nepotism and prejudice. There should be a merit for everything if I want to ensure justice among all sections of the society.
