MY SAY: MARTIN LUTHER KING. JR

April 4, 1968 · Memphis, Tennessee

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister, was the major architect of the Civil Rights Movement. He led and inspired non-violent campaigns which led to legislation to right the terrible wrong of injustice and segregation. He won the Nobel peace prize. He was assassinated as he prepared to lead a demonstration in Memphis. He was a great American and patriot whose words echo in these troubled days.  Rsk
