Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not abolish slavery - by the time he was born, the slavery of blacks in the U.S. was already illegal. The Thirteenth Amendment put an end to slavery on December 18, 1865, when Abraham Lincoln was president.

∙ 11y agoMartin Luther King Jr. didn't stop slavery. He fought against racism.
Martin Luther King wasn't even alive when there was slavery. Slavery happened in the 1800s. He was born in the 1900s. He fought against racism and segregation. Lincoln stopped slavery.

∙ 12y agoDr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not technically free black people from slavery. Abraham Lincoln is credited with that by the Emancipation Proclamation. The great contribution of Dr. King was that he encouraged black people to insist upon the exercise of that freedom, through peaceful protest and civil disobedience. There is still a great deal of prejudice, but every effort to insist being treated equally is worthwhile.

What did Martin Luther King do to help the black people?
He helped people by showing people that the color of skin and the shape of someone's nose or eyes didn't matter but to be judged by the content of ones character. Also, to people that blacks and whites are equal and there is no need for fighting or killing in the world because of the color of ones skin. It shouldn't matter wether you are purple, blue, pink, black or white. We are all people and that's all that matters. Discrimanation is not the answer to anything nor is slavery. So, don't treat people bad just because they are a little difrent :) Trust me I am Caucasion and an African American girl picks on me because I am White. It isn't right. I wish she would know how it felt but that's not right either. Anyways i hope that answers your question XD
