MLK (Martin Luther King Jr.)

Martin Luther King Jr. was a prominent leader in the American civil rights movement, advocating for racial equality through nonviolent protest. He believed in using peaceful demonstrations, speeches, and civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws and social practices that discriminated against Black people. His leadership helped bring national attention to issues of segregation and racial injustice, most famously through his "I Have a Dream" speech, where he envisioned a future of racial harmony. King’s efforts contributed to significant civil rights reforms, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, making him a symbol of hope, justice, and nonviolent resistance.
