Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King was an extremely inspirational individual, a humanitarian, civil rights activist in fact. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, helped CSLC in 1957, helped to organise the March on Washington 1963 in which he presented his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech gaining his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.
King, born son of Reverend Martin Luther King Sr. spent most of his early life within church, singing amongst the choir in 1939. He attended Booker T. Washington High school, and then attended Morehouse College without officially graduating school. Then graduated from Crozer Theological Seminary with a Bachelor of Divinity degree 1951 furthermore, gaining his Doctor of Philosophy in 1955, achieving an intelligent and large amount of qualifications which, within the time zone, was extremely unusual as segregation was large within America, specifically, the Deep South.
King was one of many leaders yet, what made King so highly respected and celebrated was his passion for change. King is mainly remembered due to his inspirational speeches ‘I Have a Dream’ for example, which he presented during the civil rights march on 1963, Washington of August. In which, he gained respect and admiration from people of all races, being referred to as a ‘Moses’ by his lieutenants, during his speech aimed for mainly African-Americans and their segregation, calling out with a nonviolent revolution. Kings admiration from many individuals was proven amongst his death, 1968, as the non-violent movement came to an immediate halt.
Yet, not everyone agreed with King’s tactics, Malcolm X for example, vilifying King’s non-violent approach, stating that ‘If the man puts a hand on you- send him to the cemetery’ Portraying that human self-defence should be permissible, many black individuals praised Malcolm X due to this and believed that a man of bravery should fight back, therefore winning his opponents respect.
