Which was what? What was that decade?

King was eloquent and charismatic. His "I have a dream" speech is considered by many, including me, to be one of the greatest speeches in the English language.

The American electorate responds against those who use violence politically. Violence by segregationists against peaceful civil rights demonstrators let to the civil rights legislation. The black ghetto riots led to white backlash, and the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
