so i do ocr a level history and i am doing coursework right now. My title is :
How valid is the view that Martin Luther King’s leadership was the primary reason for the success of the civil rights movement 1954-1968
so, i am writing 3 paras:
1.why some would say his leadership was the most important
3.why some would say no, grassroots activism was more important
What i need help with:
i need historians or authors that say yes/no to each of these points. i need to know what their view is on MLK or other issues. i then need to analyse what they say.
the draft is due tomorrow so i really need some names of historians.
please please please help.
