"There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 'When will you be satisfied?'"

Explanation:

I think this is the correct answer because Matin Luther King Jr. is making reference to those people who question the devotees, in other words the followers. To the opponents of King's ideas, it seems that the devotees will never be satisfied as they are allways fighting and asking for more. That is the reason they ask them "When will you be satisfied?" The opponents don't perceive the end of their demands.

Martin Luther King asks his followers to fight for things that at that time may have seem imposible, that is the reason the expectations seem high.
