Author Biography
Martin Luther King, Jr., born in Atlanta, Georgia, emerged as a prominent figure in the civil rights movement. His educational journey took him from Morehouse College, where he completed his undergraduate studies, to Crozer Theological Seminary and Boston University, where he pursued advanced degrees in theology. As the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, King played a pivotal role in organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and led nonviolent campaigns against segregation, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. King's powerful speeches, including his iconic "I Have a Dream" address, and his unwavering commitment to justice and equality continue to inspire generations.
