Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., highly intelligent, well educated, and a 
believer in the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, was the voice of the 
civil rights movement in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.
*
“I have a dream,” announced Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. in his most famous 
speech. His dream was that one day all people would be treated equally, regardless of 
their race, color, or religion. It was a dream to which he dedicated his life, and it 
ultimately led to his murder.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a highly intelligent young man, and skipped several grades in 
school before getting three university degrees and becoming a preacher at age twenty-
five. The year was 1954, and the civil rights movement was just gaining steam in the 
United States.
As his fellow African-Americans were beaten or even killed for daring to try to vote or to 
aspire to the same rights as white people, King became deeply involved in the civil rights 
movement.
In 1955, he led a boycott of the bus system in Montgomery, Alabama - one of many 
public transportation systems that required black people to sit at the back and give their 
seats up for white people.
Dr. King helped organize other religious leaders into a powerful, united voice that 
opposed racial discrimination, and demanded equal rights and justice. He adopted the 
philosophy of the great civil rights leader Mahatma Gandhi, who taught that the way to 


oppose violence was with non-violence, and that quiet, peaceful protests would 
accomplish more than fighting.
This was not easy to do, since protestors were often violently attacked by police, and 
many civil rights workers were murdered for their efforts to fight racism.
At marches, sit-ins, boycotts, and other nonviolent protests, Dr. King would give 
impassioned speeches. His calls for justice and equality were so powerful that he inspired 
many Americans, both black and white, to join his cause. His greatest moment came at a 
huge march in Washington, D.C. in 1963, where his “I have a dream” speech electrified 
the whole nation.
In 1964, the United States finally passed a civil rights law, and Dr. King won the Nobel 
Peace Prize for his part in that victory.
Although Dr. King continued to receive death threats, he kept on fighting for social 
justice. During his last speech, in 1968, he assured the crowd that black Americans would 
reach “the promised land” of equality . . .but that he might not get there with them. The 
very next day, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.
He is remembered as the greatest hero of the American civil rights movement.
