Martin Luther King, Jr.'s concerns and activism were largely in response to:
C. The resistance by state and local governments to enforce the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling.
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) was a Supreme Court case that established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing racial segregation. King's efforts were part of the Civil Rights Movement, which sought to challenge segregation laws and the systemic racism present in American society, especially in the South, where state and local governments resisted desegregation and equal rights for African Americans.
