The idea
King led the Civil Rights Movement from nineteen fifty-five until his assassination in nineteen sixty-eight, beginning with a three-hundred-and-eighty-two-day boycott of Montgomery's bus lines. He spoke at the March on Washington, and the anchor connects that speech to his Nobel Prize in nineteen sixty-four.
In practice
A boycott, a march, a Nobel.
Where people slip
He is read on this exam as a writer.
