Martin Luther King Jr. was a pivotal leader in the American civil rights movement, known for his commitment to nonviolent protest and his powerful oratory. His most famous speech, “I have a dream,” delivered during the 1963 March on Washington, called for an end to racism and for civil and economic rights. King’s efforts were instrumental in the passing of key legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and remains a symbol of the struggle for justice and equality.
