The principal leader in the civil rights movement in the U.S. and a fervent advocate of nonviolent protest, Martin Luther King, Jr. challenged segregation and racial discrimination on many fronts.

His now famous "I Have a Dream" Speech drew more than 200,000 civil rights supporters and helped create the political momentum needed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 1964, King dedicated his life to ending poverty and ridding the country of its segregationist practices. He was assassinated in Memphis in 1968.
