Answer

The answer is **a.) Because the Vice Lords had already had an organization to address the poor housing conditions on the west side.**<br /><br />Documentaries about Dr. King's Poor People's Campaign highlight his strategic alliance with groups like the Vice Lords. He recognized their existing community organizing efforts, particularly around housing issues on Chicago's West Side. Partnering with them allowed the campaign to tap into an established network and gain credibility within the community. The other options presented misrepresent Dr. King's philosophy and approach.<br />
