Martin Luther King


Martin Luther King was a clergyman and one of the most
prominent members of the civil rights movement.
He was born of January 15, 1929. He became famous in the 1950
and 1960-es through opposition to racial segregation in the USA.
King promoted non-violent methods of opposition such as
boycotts or sit-ins.
In 1963 he helped organize March on Washington; the march
drew hundreds of thousands of civil rights supporters to
Washington, D.C., for a mass rally. At this march he delivered
his most celebrated speech. He stressed the importance of non-
violent protest and described a possible future of racial harmony
in the US. He said: "I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply
rooted in the American dream: I have a dream that one day on the
red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of
former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table
of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four little children will
one day live in a nation where they will not be charged by the
color of their skin but by the content by their character".
After this march Martin Luther King was put into jail; there he
wrote his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail" which he
addressed to his fellow clergymen. In this letter he defended the
civil rights movement, saying that without forceful actions like
this march, equal rights for black people would never be gained.
He claimed "one who breaks an unjust law must do it openly,
lovingly." Such a person, King said, is showing respect for law
because he insists that law should be just.
In 1964 Martin Luther King received the Nobel Prize for peace.
He was assassinated by James Earl Ray in 1968. A national
holiday each January 15 commemorates his life.
