Explanation:
Martin Luther King, Jr. born as Michael King Jr (Atlanta, Georgia, January 15, 1929 - Memphis, Tennessee, April 4, 1968) was an American pastor of the Baptist Church and an activist who developed crucial work in the United States. United in front of the movement for civil rights for African Americans and also participated as an activist in numerous protests against the war in Vietnam and poverty in general. For this activity aimed at ending US segregation and racial discrimination through non-violent means, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Four years later, at a time when his work had been geared especially towards opposing the war and the fight against poverty, he was assassinated in Memphis, as he prepared to attend an informal dinner of friends.
The murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. is considered one of the magnicides of the 20th century. King is remembered as one of the greatest leaders and heroes in the history of the United States, and in the modern history of nonviolence. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter in 1977 and the Gold Medal of the United States Congress in 2004. Since 1986, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a holiday in the United States.
