Martin Luther King junior was human. Like all humans he made mistakes.

After attending meetings with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Commitee, (SNCC) she helped found the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). Which led to blacks being able to vote.

It gave them freedoms they had never had the pleasure of expieriencing before. Public facilities were desegregated, schools and businesses were integrated, the Civil Rights Act was passed, and life was better not just for African-Americans, but for Asians, Mexican-Americans, and even some Caucasians.

It gave blacks the right to vote as well as not segregating them from everyone or anything.

The announcement that Dr. King had won the Nobel Peace Prize came on 14 October 1964, at age 35. He was the youngest person to receive it. He went to Oslo, Norway to give his acceptance speech on 10 December 1964. At the time, this award was very controversial in the southern United States, where Dr. King was regarded as a trouble-maker rather than a hero.

The American Civil Rights' main movement was from 1954-1965. However, it is an issue that went on long before that, and is still going on today.

The main results of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s were the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

because it was giving to African American the same rights as whites

I think a neat question to ask about the civil rights movements would be to ask how the gay rights movement in the 21st century can be compared to the movement for racial equality in the 20th century.

Actually there was no need for his speech, as the social injustices King protested had begun to be addressed in the 1950s and were slowly being solved by the time he gave his speeches.

Before, during and after the US Civil War the civil rights of freed slaves and free Afro Americans were severely restricted. Some States before the Civil War would not even allow freed slaves to enter their States.
