Martin Luther king jr. is important to the Civil Rights movement through his ability to inspire others to follow and join in his cause. He first became known during the Bus boycotts where he was elected to be the leader if the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) Which lead to busses being desegregated and blacks being able to sit where ever they wanted on the bus and no longer had to give up their seats to a white person.

In-addition his use of nonviolent protest tactics (which was similar to that of Ghandhi's in india) gained him much support and encouraged others to follow and copy king. His devout religious beliefs and unwavering faith won him many supporters, He was never intimidated. Martin Luther King helped to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) after the bus boycott.

King was a leading figure in the civil rights movement by 1963.
