King now takes up the battle against the northern slums, which he calls "black ghettos". His meeting with black leaders Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael is a failure, as he intends to remain faithful to his political and moral convictions. At the beginning of 1968, this apostle of non-violence is preparing a pro-poor campaign to be held in the federal capital from April 22.
