King, Martin Luther, Jr.
King, Martin Luther, Jr. (1929–68) US Baptist minister and
civil rights leader. He led the boycott of segregated public transport in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956. King was founder (1960) and president of the Southern Christian Leadership Council
(SCLC). He opposed the Vietnam War and demanded measures to relieve poverty, organizing a march on Washington D.C. (1963) where he made his famous (“I have a dream…”) speech. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He was assassinated (April 4) in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had gone to support striking workers. His wife,
Coretta Scott King (1927– ), became a civil rights leader after his death. His son,
Martin Luther King III, became leader of the SCLC in 1998.
