From Humble Beginnings
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. grew up in a family steeped in the struggle for civil rights. His father, Martin Luther King Sr., was a prominent Baptist minister, and his mother, Alberta Williams King, was a vocal advocate for equality.

The Nonviolent Revolution
In 1955, the Montgomery Bus Boycott launched King Jr. into the national spotlight. As the leader of the nonviolent protest, he galvanized the black community and forced the desegregation of the city's buses. This landmark event marked the beginning of a transformative era in the Civil Rights Movement.
