THE UNITED NATIONS

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

The Civil Rights movement fought to end discrimination against African Americans and other minorities. African Americans did not enjoy many of the rights that white people in the United States enjoyed. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is the most famous leader of the Civil Rights Movement. During the 1950s and 60s he led many peaceful protests. In 1963, he gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington D.C. to more than 100,000 protesters. In 1968, Martin Luther King was assassinated. His birthday is now a national holiday celebrated on the 3rd Monday of January.
