King consciously steered away from legal claims and instead

Summary

This quote suggests that King purposefully avoided relying solely on legal arguments and instead embraced the tactic of civil disobedience. By engaging in nonviolent protests and acts of resistance against unjust laws, King aimed to prompt moral and social change, rather than solely relying on legal battles within the existing system. This approach allowed King to challenge the status quo and mobilize public support by appealing to the moral conscience of society, ultimately helping to advance the civil rights movement in the United States.
