Who is he?
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist Minister & social activist who played a key role in the American Civil Rights movement from the mid 1950s until the late 1960s. King was inspired by Mahatma Gandi and other advocates of nonviolence. He called for equality for African Americans through peaceful protests. During his active social life King was jailed about 30 times, mostly on trumped-up charges. The life of this outstanding man suddenly closed in 1968, when he was assasinated.

Glinda H. Vegliacich: Do you feel the same about Ghandi, too? After all, he made salt illegally instead of importing it from Britain, as the law demanded.

My daughter wrote a speech about him for a competition when she was 12. She won and we able to give her speech nationally. He was a great man with a dream.
