In 1955, King led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a year-long protest that successfully desegregated the city's buses. This victory propelled King into the national spotlight and established him as a leading voice in the civil rights movement.

The Power of Nonviolence

King believed that nonviolence was the most effective way to achieve social change. He argued that it allowed protesters to maintain their dignity, appeal to the conscience of their opponents, and ultimately win over public opinion.

King's most famous speech, "I Have a Dream," delivered at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, became a powerful anthem for the civil rights movement. In this speech, King expressed his vision of a future where all Americans would be treated equally, regardless of their race.

A Legacy that Lives On

King's tireless efforts for civil rights earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. However, his work came at a great personal cost. He was arrested, beaten, and threatened with death numerous times.

On April 4, 1968, King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. His death shocked the nation and the world, but his legacy continued to inspire generations to come.
