description Martin Luther King Jr. Overview
Martin Luther King Jr. was the defining voice of the American Civil Rights Movement. His ability to synthesize Christian ethics with Gandhian non-violence allowed him to mobilize millions against institutionalized segregation. Through iconic events like the March on Washington and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, he forced the United States to confront its failure to live up to its founding ideals.
His legacy is not just in the legislation he helped pass, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but in the moral language he provided for the pursuit of racial justice.
