American civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. grew up as the son of a pastor. His family background laid the foundation of his strong will to fight. Dr. King became actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement after he led a protest following the arrest of Rosa Parks in 1955. As he worked for equal rights for all across the country he became known as one of the icons in the fight leading to his famous I Have a Dream speech in Washington D.C.
