On Aug. 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed to the world, "I have a dream...”
His speech was given at the Lincoln Memorial after a quarter million people concluded the March on Washington, which became the largest demonstration for human rights of its time.
Martin Luther King, a reverend, scholar and civil rights activist, practiced non-violence and civil disobedience to help change the existence of racial inequalities.
During his life he was recognized by being the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, at age 35, but is predominantly known for his leadership in demonstrations and non-violent protests that challenge racial segregation and racial discrimination, as well as helping many communities.
The controversy surrounding King's actions led to his early death when he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn. on April 4, 1968.
