In those days it was different law for
White and Black. At the age of just 6 years, Martin experienced such
discrimination for the first time. He played a very important role in the Civil
Rights Movement in 1955. Martin believed in non-violence. He was inspired by
the great leader of India, Mahatma Gandhi.
In 1963,
Martin delivered the famous speech of his life "I have a dream". Martin
wanted to establish a society in which there is no discrimination with anyone.
The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, underlining racial segregation and
discrimination in the United States. In 1964, Martin won the Nobel Peace Prize. The third Monday of January every year is celebrated as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
