Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was an American Baptist minister and civil rights activist who became one of the most prominent and influential figures in the American Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, King attended Morehouse College and Crozer Theological Seminary before earning his Ph.D. in theology from Boston University. He became the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, where he quickly became involved in the civil rights movement, leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and 1956.
King was a key figure in the organization of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, which sought to end segregation and achieve civil rights for African Americans through nonviolent resistance. He led a number of nonviolent protests and demonstrations, including the famous March on Washington in 1963, where he delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.
King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his work in the civil rights movement. He continued to be a leading voice in the movement until his assassination in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968. Today, he is remembered as a champion for racial equality and justice, and his legacy continues to inspire and influence people around the world.
