Black History Month
Martin Luther King Jr. was a prominent leader in the American civil rights movement during the mid-20th century. Born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15, 1929, King became a Baptist minister at the age of 25 and was soon at the forefront of the fight against segregation and racial discrimination in the United States. He was a firm believer in nonviolent resistance and was inspired by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.
King's charismatic leadership and speeches, such as his famous "I Have a Dream" speech delivered at the March on Washington in 1963, inspired millions of people and brought nationwide attention to the struggle for racial equality. He played a key role in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which helped to end segregation and give African Americans the right to vote.
King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, but his legacy lives on. He is remembered as one of the greatest leaders in American history, and his nonviolent approach to social change continues to inspire activists and advocates around the world.
