Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an indefatigable Baptist minister of undaunted courage and a scion of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, famously led numerous boycotts, demonstrations, and marches against Jim Crow from 1955–1968. His staunch advocacy for non-violent direct-action protest was the only point of significant disagreement between himself and Malcolm X. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
