Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968), was one of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. A Baptist minister by training, King became a civil rights activist early in his career, leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helping to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, raising public consciousness of the civil rights movement and establishing King as one of the greatest orators in American history.

Conflict and compromise on Rosa Parks?

User Avatar

Asked by Jacksters18

The conflict was Rosa Parks, a black woman,an African American, not giving up her seat to a white man on a public bus. Racism was still a big factor in the South (especially Montgomery, Ala.).

The compromise came later after Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and members of the NAACP fought to change laws, for the rights of all blacks to have the same rights as the white people.

Rosa parks did what?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well she became apart of a Civil Rights movement for Black people in the US, and she effected racism in a huge way. It all began on a bus where Rosa Parks got on the bus and wanted to get to work. She was relaxed, and set in the front seat close to the bus driver. When a white man came in, and asked Rosa Parks to move, she didn't. She simply said, without hesitation, "No."

The man was furious, he told the bus driver, and then he came and threatened her to get off the seat. She said, once again, "No."

That was the beginning of her journey to make a great change in the world. But however, Racism is still a huge worldwide problem till this very day.

Thats all I know, Well I do know more.

How did Martin Luther King Jr get to where he is?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dr. King was a very important leader in the civil rights movement. A dynamic orator, he made a number of memorable speeches, including the one known as "I have a dream"-- this speech is considered by many scholars to be an excellent example of effective public speaking. A preacher as well as a civil rights leader, he was able to mobilize and unify black people (and some white supporters too) to march and peacefully protest until southern blacks finally achieved their rights. As a historical figure, Martin Luther King was able to become the kind of leader necessary to help the civil rights movement advance. And while he had some personal flaws, there is no question that his leadership spearheaded the civil rights movement during the 1950s and 1960s.
