how did the black panthers approach to civil rights differ from martin luther king jr.s approach?

• the black panthers advocated for militant action to achieve goals.
• the black panthers promoted religious sermons instead of community programs.
• the black panthers worked with government leaders instead of protesting
• the black panthers focused on voting rights instead of jobs and housing

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr. focused on nonviolent, peaceful protest and religiously rooted moral suasion to advance civil rights, while the Black Panther Party rejected nonviolence, advocating for militant, self-defensive action against systemic oppression (including police brutality) as a core part of their approach. The other options are incorrect: the Panthers ran community programs, did not work with government leaders as a key difference, and focused on broader economic needs (jobs/housing) alongside other demands, not just voting rights.

Answer:

The Black Panthers advocated for militant action to achieve goals.
