Martin Luther King made an important and powerful speech on August 28th 1963 making a call for racial equality [everyone to be equal whether black or white] and an ending to discrimination to black people because at the time white and black did not like each other.
When he took up the banner of equal rights for black people in the US, he was the subject of slander by many in the government, including Edgar G. Hoover, the longtime head of the FBI. He was accused of adultery, homosexuality, and being a communist sympathizer.
He was arrested along with freedom marchers on several occasions, including the Montgomery bus boycott (1956)and the Albany Movement (1961).
Following the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, King continued to work to ensure that the law was observed in the South. While supporting a black public employee strike in Memphis, TN, King was shot and killed on April 4, 1968.
