I'm currently just starting my coursework, the question is: Within the context of the years 1865-1984, how important was Martin Luther King in the pursuit of black civil rights in America?
If you know any primary sources that could be relevant for answering this question that would be so useful. Specifically, sources that talk about the importance of other key individuals, women leadership and grassroots organisations. Sources that also talk about the Harlem Renaissance would be great. Also, primary sources have to argue that MLKs importance was overplayed
