~ Why was Martin Luther King disappointed with the white churches?
Martin Luther King was one of the biggest civil rights leaders for a long period of time. He led many civil right acts all over the United States. During his time King was very victorious by getting his point across, which still to this day everyone still remembers the “I have a dream speech”. During his time Martin Luther King was throwing into the Birmingham jail for a short period of time. One of Martin Luther King biggest disappointments was that he was very disappointed with white churches. King felt that the churches have lost their leadership, that the white churches have lost their spirits inside the church. King did not say this because he wanted to make issues about it, but because he was a minister himself. He also felt the white churches did not welcome the black community very well either. King expressed his feelings about when there was a time when the churches were very powerful, and the leadership was there. That there was not any popular opinion back then. Martin Luther King did not go against the white churches to make any kind of issues. He was just very disappointed in what happen to the white churches. He could not believe how different the churches have become. He felt that if the churches do not try to recapture the spirits they once had, that it will never be the same as it one was. Martin Luther King was one of the greatest leaders in time, and will be always remembered all over the world forever

I agree with you about Martin Luther King Jr.’s ideas about the white church. All King was trying to get across was that the white churches no longer give the love and strength that they once had, but they discriminate towards people who believe in the same things as they do.
You did a great job. You are right King was very disappointed with the white churches for not helping finacially nor giving support to King's church. There is no need for disgrimination, they needed to learn to see past their race, color, or sex what ever it may be and work together.
