Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968), was one of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. King was a Baptist minister, one of the few leadership roles available to black men at the time. He became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956) and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (1957), serving as its first president. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream"speech. Here he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.

King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. Martin Luther King Day was established as a national holiday in the United States in 1986. In 2004, King was posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.

A Call For Help!!!!!!!!!!

A Call For Help.

I am sending out this message to people that have yet to make a purchase in support of Lifechange Publishing LLC. This is a Major Movement for change. If we want the world to change we must change it. My Goal is to do so but I cannot do it alone. This will be one of the best purchases mentally and spiritually that you ever made. Don?t Miss this opportunity to acquire some knowledge and some blessings by simply purchasing a book.

God has made it too easy for you to support this mission Ordained by him. If you ignore his call that?s on you. He knows if you?re ready to come out of the Dark and into the night. He knows what is in your head and your heart. We all want his help, we all want something from him but we are so afraid to spend a dollar on missions Ordained by him. While we rush to throw it away on nonsense. I am trying to Bless as many as I can but I can only lead you to the water it is entirely up to you and God whether or not you choose to take Your Drink. Thank you 4 your time. Love and Peace, king Ocar, www.kingocar.com
