Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr., was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlando, Georgia. He was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin.

King married Coretta Scott, on June 18, 1953. King and Scott had four children.

In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.

King developed a crucial role in the U.S. at the forefront of the movement for civil rights for African Americans and also participated as an activist in numerous protests against the Vietnam War and poverty in general. One example one of this was the December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, a black woman, was arrested for violating segregation laws of the city of Montgomery to refuse to give up her seat to a white man on a bus, Martin Luther King started a autobuses.

For this activity aimed at ending segregation and racial discrimination through non-violent means, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

This amazing character in the story is universally admired and personally, I think that was a revolutionary who fought for social peace and that helped change the minds of whites. We are all equal in the image of God and he would have the mind to the people of the Apocalypse, repudiating the racist actions and fostering good relations between people of different color. I think he was one of the people who deserved great credit for their noble and righteous thoughts. Started a fight against discrimination, demanding equality and respect.
