he did not Harriet Tubman did so stop asking me the same questions over and over.

This previous answer is not true. Although the modern Civil Rights Movement was in fact at first, led by Martin Luther King Jr, he did not start it. Important events such as the murder of a young black boy from Chicago named Emmett Till, who was lynched by 2 white men, and the passing of cases such as the Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education. Such events as these helped cause the blacks to finally unite and fight for their rights. A women's political group actually began a meeting that became the first time blacks united together to fight for their rights as a people. It was at this meeting that Martin Luther King was voted to lead the non-violent era of the Civil Rights Movement.
