once MLK denounced the Vietnam war, his popularity tanked. NAACP didn't back him up. 168 newspapers denounced his stand.
He was concerned that riots would lead to a right wing govt. he worked hard to prevent that, convincing other communities to stand down.
once the riots started, the non-violence he preached got lost in the embers of hate.
