Martin Luther King Jr.

Human rights are important for the fact that government can legislate and also create fairer legislative system which recognize the right for life, physical integrity and own image etc.

One of the  things I always find amazing is the biography of historical Personalities Characters.In this opportunity I want to show you, Martin Luther King JR who led and fought for  the Rights of black people in the United Estates.

Martin Luther King was born in Atlanta on January 15 in 1929.He first began to be well known in 1955 when he led a protest against the way black people were segregated on buses.  By the end of 1956 the segregation had been removed in Montgomery and bus integration had been introduced. Another achievement was in 1963 when  a Civil Rights March took place in Washington.It was officially called the March of Washington for JOB and FREEDOM.

In 1964 he got  the Nobel Peace Prize award and also wrote his legendary speech “I HAVE A DREAM” which heard throughout the world. 

Later, on April 4 in 1968 he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee when he was standing on the balcony of his motel room.
