Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and social activist. Born on Jan. 15, 1929, King led the civil rights movement in the United States during the mid-1950s until his death. He played a major role in ending the legal segregation of African Americans throughout the South and other parts of the U.S. King first garnered attention as the head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and his use of nonviolent tactics, including the March on Washington in 1963. He was given the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Today and every day we celebrate his legacy.
