Ms. Fischer records Dr. Ken Clark's thoughts and opinions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for a program on King and Civil Rights.

Dr. Clark describes Martin Luther King Jr.'s organization of blacks to boycott buses in Montgomery as "passive resistance." He reveals that while the nonviolent protest and boycotting has been effective in some areas, particularly in the desegregation of buses, bathrooms, and lunch counters in the south, the question of whether this technique is useful in all types of desegregation or inequality persists. He uses the example of black unemployment numbers in the northern states. Dr. Clark discusses the psychological effect of segregation upon the segregated people as a whole as well.
