Meeting Dedication :
Meeting Dedication Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)
clergyman, activist, father, husband and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement.
His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today.
Dr. King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott (26 years old!!) and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. :
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.
In 1964, Dr. King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.
Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, during a stay in Memphis, Tennessee where he was supporting the black sanitary public works employees.
He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.
The ground work laid by Dr. King and many other leaders has paved the way for many events… even what we just saw yesterday – Thank you Dr. King, Good Luck President Obama!!
