Explications :
Martin Luther King
He was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929 and died assassinated on 4 April 1968. He was an African-American pastor and non-violent activist for the American civil rights movement, a fervent campaigner for peace and against poverty, and he organised and led actions such as the Montgomery bus boycott to defend the right to vote, desegregation and the employment of ethnic minorities
He gave a famous speech on 28 August 1963 in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, during the march for jobs and freedom: it was entitled "Ihave a dream". This speech was supported by John Fitzgerald in the fight against racial segregation in the United States; President Lyndon B.'s tireless advocacy with members of Congress led to the passage of various federal laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which legally put an end to all forms of racial segregation throughout the United States. Martin Luther King became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his non-violent struggle against racial segregation and for peace.In 1977, the United Nations Human Rights Prize in 1978, in 2004 he is considered one of the greatest American orators. Since 1986, Martin Luther King Day has been a public holiday in the United States.
Two Martin Luther King Centres for Nonviolent Action exist.
