Martin Luther King Jr.

(1929-1968) He was an influential leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, known for his peaceful struggle against racial segregation and social injustice. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence, King advocated racial equality through motivational speeches, peaceful protests and acts of civil disobedience. His famous “I Have a Dream” speech became a symbol of hope and change, and his activism was crucial to the passage of important civil rights legislation in the 1960s. Although his life was tragically cut short by an assassination in 1968, his legacy remains a benchmark in the struggle for human rights around the world.
