Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King was born on 15 th January 1929 in
(US).
Atlanta, Georgia
He was originally called Michael King, after his
father.
However, when his father, a Baptist minister, changed his
name from Michael to Martin Luther (inspired by the German
theologian of the same name), Michael King Jr.
became Martin
Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King was a talented student. He skipped 9 th grade and 12 th grade, attending
Morehouse College at the age of 15. He went on to graduate with a sociology degree.
On 18 th June 1953, King married Coretta Scott. They had four children, Yolanda King, Martin
Luther King III, Dexter Scott King and Bernice King.
In 1954, when he was just 25 years old, Martin Luther King became pastor of the Dexter
Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.
King was heavily involved in the organization of the Montgomery Bus Boycott following the
arrest of Rosa Parks. King was arrested during the protest and he started to become a national
figure associated with the civil rights movement.
In 1957, King, along with other key civil rights activists, started
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference a group
dedicated to protesting non-violently to achieve civil rights
reform.
King visited Gandhi’s birthplace in India. He became absolutely
convinced that a non-violent approach was the best way to
achieve change in America.
King was involved in the
Albany Movement and a
non-violent civil rights
campaign in Birmingham, Alabama. The
Birmingham campaign was
much more successful
and led to more public
places being accessible
to the city’s black community.

He was also involved in demonstrations in St Augustine, Florida and Selma, Alabama.
King was involved in the March on Washington in 1963, and it front of the Lincoln Memorial
that he delivered his famous, 17 minute, “I Have a Dream” speech. It would appear that the
portion of the speech in which he talks about his dream, wasn’t in his original notes and wasn’t
scripted.
He was against the Vietnam War and spoke out against it in his “ Beyond Vietnam” speech.
Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on 4 th April 1968. He was shot while standing on the
second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. James Earl Ray was charged with his
murder. Many people believe that James Earl Ray wasn’t acting alone and that there was a
conspiracy to have King assassinated. King was just 39 years old.
The third Monday of January each year is a
federal holiday
in the United States to honour Martin Luther
King Jr. Day
and has been observed by all 50 states since 2000.
More than 700 Us cities have streets named
Luther King.
King was arrested 29 times during his civil
campaign.
The author of several books,
a Grammy award in 1971 for the
recording ‘Why I Oppose the War
after Martin
rights
King also won
spoken-word
in Vietnam’.
He won the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1964. He
was 35 years old and at the time,
he was the
youngest ever recipient of the award. He
donated the prize money
($400.000) to
the Civil Rights movements.
He was the first African-
person to be named Time
Man of the Year.

King’s wife, Coretta Scott King, died in 2006. She was 78 years old.

Rosa Louise Parks has been called the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement." By not
giving up her seat to a white passenger on a city bus, Rosa Parks started a protest that was felt throughout
the United States. Her quiet, courageous act changed America and redirected the course of history.
Name: Rosa Louise McCauley Parks
Birth: February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama, to James and Leona McCauley
Childhood: Grew up on a small farm with her brother, mother, and grandparents.
Childhood Fears: Hearing the Ku Klux Klan ride at night, listening to lynchings, and being afraid the
house would burn down.
School: Attended a school for African-American children. The old, one-room schoolhouse was only open
five months a year and just went up to sixth grade. In 1924, at age 11, she was sent to Montgomery to
continue her studies. Five years later, she left school in order to care for her sick grandmother, and later,
her mother.
Marriage/Young Adult Years:
Married barber and civil rights activist Raymond Parks in 1932. With Raymond's support, Rosa finally
graduated from high school in 1934. Together, they worked for the Montgomery chapter of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Jobs:
1930s - 1955: Seamstress
1943: Appointed secretary of the NAACP's Montgomery branch and later its youth leader.
1965 - 1988: Worked as a receptionist and office assistant for John Conyers, an African-American
congressman. Part of her job involved helping homeless people get housing.
1987 - Present: Established the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development. Its ongoing
mission is to motivate and direct youth to achieve their highest potential.
Greatest Achievement: Sparking the modern civil rights movement in the United States by refusing to give
up her bus seat to a white passenger. Rosa Parks's arrest for breaking Montgomery segregation laws
started a boycott of the city bus line that lasted 381 days. This eventually led to the 1956 Supreme Court
ruling declaring segregation illegal on public buses.
Later Adult Years: After moving to Michigan in 1957, Rosa Parks continued the fight for equal rights and
treatment for African Americans. On several occasions, Mrs. Parks returned to Montgomery to support
Dr. King in demonstrations and civil rights marches.
Awards: Over the years, Rosa Parks has received hundreds of awards and honors, including the Medal of
Freedom Award, presented by President Clinton in 1996.
Death:
Rosa Parks, who inspired a generation to fight for civil rights, died in 2005 at the age of 92. Read more

Nelson Rohihlahla Mandela, born, July 18, 1918, was the first South African
president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. Trained as an attorney, he
helped form
the Youth League of the African National Congress (ANC) in 1944. In
1961 he abandoned peaceful protest and became head of the ANC's new
military wing. Sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964, Mandela
came to symbolize black political aspirations and was named head of the ANC after his
release on Feb. 11, 1990.
He and F. W. de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating South Africa's
peaceful
transition to multiracial democracy. After the ANC victory in the April 1994 elections,
Mandela
worked to ease racial tensions, court foreign investment, and provide services to the victims
of
apartheid. Mandela has announced that he will not run for reelection in 1999, and in
December 1997. Thabo Mbeki succeeded him as ANC party leader.
