Best Answer

Dr. King was never President of the United States, but he was President of the Montgomery Improvement Association, formed on December 5, 1955. The group consisted of African-American ministers and community leaders whose mission was to "improve the general status of Montgomery, to improve race relations, and to uplift the general tenor of the community."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a charismatic speaker and dynamic leader, was elected Chairman-President at the association's first meeting.
