How did Dr. King influence Alice Walker's beliefs and values?

His involvement with the black civil rights movement was closely related to his Protestant faith. After gaining a major victory in the Bus Boycott of 1956, when the boycotting of the bus services by black people led to their de-segregation, he became president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957.

Explanation:

was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged, and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest. Alice Walker's purpose in ''Everyday Use'' was to contrast traditional African-American culture in the south to the new Black Power movement and to depict different opinions on how to preserve culture. So Dr. King wanted to change it.
