Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and a leader of the civil rights movement in the United States. He fought for racial equality and social justice through nonviolent resistance and inspiring speeches. His most famous speech, ‘I Have a Dream’, was delivered at the March on Washington in 1963, where he called for an end to racism and a vision of harmony. He also advocated for economic justice, anti-war activism, and global peace. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his efforts to combat racial oppression and violence. Now world celebrates his birthday as a day to reflect on King’s legacy, his tireless advocacy for racial equality, and the impact he had on civil rights in the United States.
