Lightning makes no sounds until it strikes. What did MLK meant by that? Reply in 3 sentences in 8 th graders response

Answer 1

When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said that "lightning makes no sounds until it strikes," he meant that people often don’t notice or react to problems until they become really serious or dangerous. Just like lightning doesn't make noise until it hits something, important issues like injustice might be ignored until they cause a big impact. So, we need to pay attention to problems before they get worse, just like you should take cover before a storm hits.
