Armed with an unshakable commitment to nonviolent protest and a powerful eloquence, Martin Luther King, Jr., led the civil rights movement that ended segregation in the south and brought on the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

To protest the arrest of Rosa Parks, King led the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama on a year-long bus boycott. After that success, King, with Ralph Abernathy and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, masterminded boycotts, sit-ins, and marches that exposed the brutality of racism.

In the 1963 March on Washington, King delivered his stirring “I have a Dream” speech before 250,000 demonstrators. The next year, he became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968.

"We shall force this nation, this city, this world, to fact its own conscience. We will make the God of love in the white man triumph over the Satan of segregation that is in him.... The struggle is not between black and white. But between good and evil."
