Some historians have defined the historical period of the 1960s and 1970s as a watershed moment in US history because it represe

nts critical change.

Answer:

There are many people who could exemplify the period, but a particularly important figure is Martin Luther King.

Martin Luther King is the central figurehead of the Civil Rights Movement, which was perhaps the most important social movement in American during this time. Martin Luther King was a great leader who gave a voice to the needs of African Americans, who had been subjected to all kinds of abuses from centuries before.

He gave a message of change, but always in peaceful manners. He was not a provocator, and openly called for tolerance between all people, regardless of the color of skin, or other attributes.

This is why he became such a central figure of this period.
