Martin Luther King Jr
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character."
Martin Luther King Jr (15 January, 1929-4 April 1968) was an American clergyman and an active leader in the American Civil Rights Movement. He wanted to fight racial discrimination and segregation through non violent means'. He organized boycotts, sit-ins and marches. In Birmingham, Alabama, he organized the boycott of discriminatory businesses, sit-ins in "White only" lunch counters and everyday peaceful demonstrations. These initiatives successfully fought against segregation and for equal employment opportunities in the city.
In 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King made his famous "I have a dream" speech. In 1968 he was assassinated. He had received the Nobel Peace Prize four years before.
