Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He was an American activist, clergyman, and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and he has become a human rights icon. In 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial discrimination, racial segregation and decided to turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement.
On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated. (1929 - 1968)
