  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Important Historical Figures," we explore the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a central figure in the American civil rights movement. King, born in 1929, became a leader in the fight against racial segregation and injustice, advocating for non-violent resistance inspired by his Christian faith and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. From his leadership in the Montgomery Bus Boycott to his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington, King’s efforts were instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Despite his assassination in 1968, King’s legacy continues to inspire movements for justice, equality, and human rights around the world.
