No. Slavery ended with the 13, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution in 1867. This was a little less than 100 years before King was active and began the Civil Rights Movement. King pushed for the end to discrimination in the society. Segregation of schools, business, and all parts of society was practiced through out the history of the United States. Slavery in the past was only one part of the problem.
