CLICK BELOW TO VIEW AND LISTEN TO THE REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH OF 1963. THE CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER WAS ASSASSINATED IN 1968 ON A BALCONY IN MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference He worked hard to make people understand that not only black people but that all races should always be treated equally to white people. He gave speeches to encourage African Americans to protest without using violence.
Led by Dr. King and others, many African Americans used nonviolent, peaceful strategies to fight for their civil rights. These strategies included sit-ins, boycotts, and protest marches. Often, they were attacked by white police officers or people who did not want African Americans to have more rights. However, no matter how badly they were attacked, Dr. King and his followers never fought back.
