re: Would these style protests happen today under MLK's leadership?

Well, back in MLK's day, the interstate system wasn't blocked for starters...

Bloody Sunday in Selma was Sunday, March 7, 1965

The Interstate Highway System wasn't authorized until 1956, and no state had a complete Interstate system until 1974

So they weren't blocked because they weren't completed yet

However, US 80 that passes over the Edmond Pettus Bridge would've been a major traveled route at that time
