Martin Luther King Jr

He was born on January 15th ,1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He emerged as a central figure

in the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1950s. His leadership was

solidified in 1955 during the Montgomery bus Boycott in Alabama, a pacific protest

against the racial segregation in public transport. This movement was the beginning of

many pacific actions that sought to dismantle segregationist laws in the southern United

States.

In 1963, King organized the historic March on Washington for job and freedom, where

he pronounced his emblematic speech “I have a dream”. In it, he articulated his vision of

a society where people are judged by their character and not by their skin color. This

speech became a landmark in civil right history and it solidified King as a moral leader

around the world.

His unwavering defense of the equality and justice was recognized in 1964, when he

was given the Nobel Peace Prized. Even though this recognition, King continued facing

challenges, including arrests and threats. However, he kept his commitment whit

nonviolence and the civil disobedience as a tool for social change.

On April 4th, 1968, while he was in Memphis, Tennessee, supporting the workers on

strike, King was murdered. His death triggered a wave of shock across the country.

Even though his tragic end, his legacy will last as a symbol of the fight for equality and

human rights.

In recognition to his contribution, in 1986 Martin Luther King Jr Day was stablished as a

national holiday in the United States, it is celebrated every third Monday of January. His

life and work continued inspiring generations looking for justice and equality.
