Martin Luther King, Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott after a woman named Rosa Parks was denied a seat because of the color of her skin. For his troubles, his home was bombed and his family's life was put we are in great danger. However, this led to the end of racial segregation being allowed on all public transport. Black Americans and their White American supporters kept the boycott alive for more than a year, and bankrupted a company. Hooray! He fought against southern racism with all his might and effort, and finally it culminated in the march on Washington to demand civil rights for Americans of African Slave Ancestry, who had been called Negroes, and later became known as black Americans and finally African Americans.

Reverend King believed in nonviolence and used Gandhi as an example to lead his campaign for the rights of people who were being oppressed because of their skin color. Before he was murdered for his attempts to bring about fairness, unity and the creation of a nation undivided, he was granted the Nobel Peace Prize.

His "I Have a Dream" speech is the finest speech in the entire history of this nation in its unabashed desire for a nation of ideals. He did not live to see his dream, and it still hasn't come close to being true. His most important contribution was being humble enough to offer up his life for people without a voice or a country.
