First question MLK was asked on Meet The Press: "Aren't sit-ins hurting the negro cause?"

10. Why We Can't Wait.

It's worthwhile to examine similarities to today. Most notably, distressing responses among some self-described liberals. Some on this very thread.

Black lives matter is more important than a rally being interrupted. Too many claim their manner and method isn't appropriate. Yet unarmed black people are still getting murdered by police at a rate of two per week.

For more on this topic I recommend King's Letter From A Birmingham Jail. It's one of the most brilliant pieces of literature in U.S. history. You can read it in its entirety here:

King's letter was later expanded into a great book called Why We Can't Wait.

I think you'll see many more similarities between black lives matter and civil rights. Including the frustrations that King had with some self-described white liberals and their repeated defensiveness and circumlocution regarding matters of great moral and social urgency. Matters of life and death, that are present today.
