Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He was an American Baptist minister, activist, and prominent figure in the civil rights movement. In 1964, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming the youngest recipient of the prize at the time. Martin Luther King Jr. is considered one of the most notable figures who fought for freedom and human rights. He served as the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization that aimed at obtaining equal civil rights for African Americans. He rejected violence of all kinds, setting a perfect example to his comrades and to the many involved in the struggle of Black people through his patience, kindness, wisdom, and conservatism, which caused him to face opposition from some Black leaders, who started challenging him in 1965. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was featured in many works, including I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967), Gang Land (1998), and Freedom Writers (2007).
