    Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement from the mid-1950s to 1968, rejecting violence and giving over 2,500 speeches to promote nonviolent protest against racial segregation and discrimination. As a Baptist minister, he helped organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 and co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, advocating for civil rights through nonviolent civil disobedience and helping to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Despite facing threats, arrests, and assassination attempts, his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 came to symbolize the struggle for racial equality.
