Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) ? American Clergyman & Civil Rights Activist
?
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister, who became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, and in 1957 he helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, serving as its first president. King?s efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous ?I Have a Dream? speech. There, he established his reputation as one of the great orators in American history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the Vietnam War. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Medal in 2004. In 1986, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday.
