Back in the day, MLK put together a March on Washington with payphones and mimeograph machines.

When he started, 99% of the population thought Tarzan was a great hero.

Read the history. A lot of the African-American population thought that King was a dangerous radical. He had no access to national media and there were no cell phone camera if the police decided to get frisky.

No one said it would be easy.
