were published in Pennsylvania

Evening Bulletin for the two
states respectively.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
was a minister and civil rights
leader who worked to bring
about social, political and
economic equality for black
Americans by peaceful means.
King began his civil rights
crusade in 1955.
He preached "nonviolent
resistance" to achieve full civil
rights for all. King based his
program of nonviolence on the
teaching of Christianity; the
social ideas of Henry Thoreau;
and the methods of Mohandas
K. Ghandi.
King came to the national
attention in 1956 when he led a
boycott of the public buses in
Montgomery, Alabama to

protest discrimination against
black passengers. The boycott
succeeded and convinced many
people that civil rights could be
won through nonviolent protest.
To coordinate the work of
various civil rights groups, King
helped establish the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference
(SCLC) in 1957 and became its
first president.
Under King's leadership,
nonviolent resistance achieved
its greatest success from
1955-1965. He led
demonstrations in many parts of
the country. King's nonviolent
program reached a high point in
1963 in Washington, D.C. when
more than 200,000 persons
marched from the Washington
Monument to the Lincoln
Memorial. There King delivered
his well-known speech, telling
the world he had a "... dream
that one day this nation will rise
up and live out the true meaning
of its creed: 'We hold these
truths to be self-evident that all
men are created equal.'" He also
played a major role in
anti-discrimination and voter
registration drives, notably at
Selma and Birmingham,
Alabama, campaigns which
spurred the passage of the

He received the Nobel Prize
for Peace in 1964 for leading the
black struggle for equality
through nonviolent
demonstrations.
In 1967 King announced his
open onpG3ition to the war in
Vietnam. He announced massive
demonstrations against both
discrimination and the war
would take place.
King rejected "separatism"
and tried to pull together many
groups in a campaign against
poverty. He began to organize
the "Poor People's March" on
Washington for 1968, but he did
not live to lead the march.
In spite of his great emphasis
on nonviolence, King often
became •the target of violence.
He was stabbed in New York
City and stoned in Chicago. His
home in Montgomery was
bombed. Finally, violence cut
short his life at the age of 39. He
was the victim of an assassin's
bullet on April 4, 1968 in
Memphis, Tennessee.
King was a magnetic speaker
and a great humanistic teacher
who taught understanding, even
love, for those who opposed
equality and civil rights for
everyone.
