By the time the Montgomery Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King Jr. as its leader, the hours-old bus boycott by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already an overwhelming success. King would later write that his unanticipated call to leadership happened so quickly that I did not have time to think in through. It is probable that if I had, I would have declined the nomination. He would later admit that when the boycott began, he was not yet firmly committed to Gandhian principles. Although he had been exposed to those teachings in college, he had remained skeptical. I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation was an armed revolt, he recalled. I felt that the Christian ethic of love was confined to individual relationships. 1. What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott? B) He had to think about it carefully. D) He was prepared to accept it.

Which of the following is Not mentioned as something that happened at the beginning of the black peoples movement? B) Black people disagreed with each other. D) Black people found it hard to accept the policy pursued in Montgomery. A) The education he received in college. C) The influence of two active non-violence advocates. 5.
