If you mean Martin Luther King, than he didn't free the blacks. He only helped receive more independent rights.

How did this Martin Luther King change the world?

Martin Luther King Jr. campaigned for equal rights for blacks in America. He came from a quite well-off family and learned about discrimination of blacks from a very young age. One example is from when he and his father walked into a shoe shop and sat down while waiting to be served, when an assistant came up to them and asked them to the 'Blacks Only' section of the shop to be served. Martin and his father walked out empty-handed, refusing to be served. Another is from when his two childhood friends got sent to a segregated school and their mother refused to allow him to play with them. This is partly what inspired Martin to campaign for equal rights. Martin grew up to become a minister and became president of the M.I.A (Montgomery Improvement Association), and staged the 'bus boycott'. This consisted of all blacks refusing to use the buses. It worked well and conditions on buses were improved. Later on in his life, he gave his motivational 'I have a Dream' speech to a crowd, and it was enough to inspire many to help in his campaign for blacks' rights. Sadly, he was shot while having a breath of fresh air on his balcony outside his hotel room, and died from the wound. He always said to his friends that he would never make it to 40. He died aged 39.
