Civil Rights Leaders


Martin Luther King Junior:king.jpg


Martin Luther King grew up and was always troubled by the way that the blacks were treated. He went to an all black school and soon earned himself a Ph.D. But he thought that being a preacher was a better way to help the black society. So he became a preacher in the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. After he became preacher he became an outstanding black leader in the South fighting for civil rights. Martin Luther King was a member on the NAACP (National Association of Advancement for Colored People) and he then accepted the leadership of the first nonviolent, Negro demonstration of contemporary times in the united states. This nonviolent action was a bus boycott, that lasted 382 days. Martin Luther King and his family received threats, hate mail, and there house was bombed because they lead the boycott, but it was all worth it. On December 21,1956 the Martin Luther King won with a verdict from the Supreme court that segregation on buses was unconstitutional.
