How did king feel about white churches in the south?

Martin Luther King Jr. had a complex relationship with white churches in the South. While he recognized that some white churches supported the Civil Rights Movement and worked towards racial equality, he was often disappointed by the silence and inaction of many others. He believed that the failure of white churches to actively oppose segregation and injustice contributed to the perpetuation of systemic racism. King called for a more active and engaged role from all religious institutions in the fight for civil rights.
