Martin Luther King Jr. was the moral voice of the American civil rights movement and one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Born in Atlanta in 1929, he rose from Baptist preacher to Nobel Peace Prize laureate, guiding millions with the conviction that nonviolent resistance could dismantle segregation and transform a nation still shackled by Jim Crow laws.
His journey is a tapestry of unforgettable moments: the Montgomery bus boycott that lasted 381 days, the searing prose of the Letter from Birmingham Jail, the quarter of a million people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial to hear I Have a Dream, and the bloody march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge that shook the conscience of America. Inspired by Gandhi’s satyagraha, he preached love over hatred, even as bombs, bullets, and jail cells answered his peaceful calls for justice.
On April 4, 1968, a single bullet on a Memphis motel balcony silenced the man but amplified the message. Today his words still echo in classrooms, churches, and streets. How deeply do you know the preacher from Atlanta who dared to dream of a more just America?
