    About Martin Luther King Jr.

    Martin Luther King Jr., born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929, was an American Baptist minister and civil rights leader. He advanced civil rights for African Americans through nonviolent resistance inspired by his Christian beliefs and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King first gained national recognition in 1955 by leading the Montgomery bus boycott. In 1957, he co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to coordinate nonviolent protests. He helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous I Have a Dream speech. For his efforts against racial segregation and discrimination, King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. In his final years, he expanded his advocacy to address economic inequality and oppose the Vietnam War. On April 4, 1968, King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. His leadership contributed significantly to the passage of landmark federal legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
