What specifically was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking out against when he made this statement in 1958? “I could never adjust to the separate waiting rooms, separate eating places, separate rest rooms, partly because the separate was always unequal, and partly because the very idea of separation did something to my sense of dignity and self-respect.”

Respuesta :

Martin Luther King was referring to the Jim Crow laws, which introduced such separation - of waiting rooms, eating places, and others - for people of different races.

I believe the answer is: Jim Crow Laws.

Through the Jim Crow laws, African American citizens were discriminated against by requiring them to use government establishments that are separated from the white citizens. This make them forced to use lower quality seat on the bus, lower quality schools, lower quality restaurants, etc.
