Martin Luther King Jr did not end segregation, but he was at the forefronts in the cause to end segregation. Many people, under his leadership, fought to end segregation in America, such as Rosa Parks and Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. President Lynden B. Johnson was very supportive of the cause to end segregation. Finally, the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act were passed that aided in the end to institutionalized segregation.

Addendum:Actually, President Harry S. Truman started the ball rolling in the US. President Truman signed Executive Order 9981 that integrated the US armed forces. Roughly a decade and a half before Kennedy and Johnson desegregated schools and other services.
