The Biography of Martin Luther King Jr. The Man Who Transformed The Civil Rights Movement

In the 1950s, at a great personal cost, a man stood up in the face of racial discrimination and aspired to change America for the better. Over the course of his struggle, he was beaten, stabbed, jailed, and had his house bombed. He refused to advocate violence or to give up his stance in promoting love, harmony, and justice. Today, we know him as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King was instrumental in leading the Montgomery Bus Boycotts after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. With his ideology of non-violent protests, he galvanized an entire race to foster civil rights causes. In 1963, he delivered his famous I Have a Dream speech from the Lincoln Memorial in front of 250,000 people.

In 1963, he was Time Magazine's Man of the Year and in 1964 won the Nobel Peace Prize. Come and meet the man who so gently inspired so many lives so profoundly and whose actions changed a nation.
