This refusal to obey is a trait that cannot suppress‚ especially in the fight for correct human rights. Martin Luther King Jr. fiercely waged for the rights of African Americans through disobedience acts. Several of the rallies King conducted were unauthorized; the civil rights leader gave speeches in a few of the key centers

Civil disobedience‚ the right of every citizen they say‚ but is peaceful resistance to laws really a way to go about in effecting a positive change?
