Segregation started in the first half of the 20th century. During the segregation in most part of the country many colored people weren't able to vote. White people didn't even want to sell their houses to colored people. The colored kids weren't even able to go to school with the whites. In one point there were different neighborhoods separating the two. Martin Luther King was a civil rights advocate against racism, segregation, and brought justice for African Americans. One of his great works along with his wife Loretta Scott King was the march in 1965. It lasted five days. Another one of his great works was the Montgomery bus boycott in December 1955. Because of this event, MLK's house was bombed and he got arrested. But there was victory. In 1956, the Supreme Court decided to ban segregated buses. Martin Luther King Jr was also an American Baptist Minister. He played a huge role in the civil rights movement from the mid 1950s until the 1968s. For this, he made many accomplishments in his life. According to the Nobel Prize Website, Martin Luther King Jr. received a B.A degree in 1948 from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. In the eleven year period between 1957 and 1968 Martin Luther King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty- five hundred times. All this, Martin Luther King Jr. did to help overturn injustices, fight racism, remove segregation, and make things fair for African Americans.
