Martin Luther King, Jr. Prophet of the 1960s

Who was Martin Luther King Jr.? Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929 King was an American Baptist minister and a prominent leader in his community

Racial Injustice in America After slavery became illegal in the United States in 1865, racism persisted in American society in other ways, such as segregation Laws dictated where white Americans and “colored” Americans could go, what they could do, and which public facilities they could use Violence was often used against African Americans, and they were believed to be inferior

Martin Luther King Jr.: Prophet of the People 1955: Martin Luther King Jr. helps organize bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama 1963: March in Washington, DC, where King delivers his famous “I Have a Dream” speech 1965: Marches from Selma to Montgomery to protest segregation

Martin Luther King Jr.: Prophet of the People Through his work and tireless activism, King fought against the injustice of racism and segregation and sought equality for African-Americans King believed in a future America where racism and segregation would no longer exist and all could live in peace

Public Reaction For African-Americans, King was a savior and a source of great hope for change King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for combating racial inequality with non-violence For some white Americans, King was hated and reviled as dangerous for society King was assassinated for this reason on April 4, 1968

Martin Luther King Jr. Today Today, we remember King as a great American hero From King, we can learn not only the importance of standing up for what is right, but the lessons of courage, determination, and believing in the good of others We can carry on his legacy by continuing to fight against racism and by upholding the importance of peace and seeking unity among differences
