We honor Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister who advocated the use of nonviolent means to end racial segregation. He came to national prominence during a 1955 bus boycott by African Americans in Montgomery, Alabama. He founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957 and led the 1963 March on Washington. MLK Jr. stands as one of the most influential African American civil rights leaders during the 1960s. He was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations, facilities, and employment, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964; he was tragically assassinated on April 4, 1968. |
