American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 until his death in 1968.
He's best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, tactics his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi helped inspire.
He also helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech!!
Most of the time it would be beachhead, but it can also be drop-offs, cliffs, etc
hope this helps
The significance of the conflict was that the Hessian army crushed in Washington's raid across the Delaware River and the Americans were invigorated by the easy defeat of the British Hessian forces.
