Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement
One Decanta evening in 1955, an American Negro woman called Rosa Parks gor on to a bus in
Mestapamay, Alabana. She was tired from shopping, and her feet hurt, so she was glad to find a seat.
Thes, some white men got on the bus, and the conductor told Rosa to give up ha sest. In Alabama,
Nexus ways had to stand if white men wanted seats. But Rosa Paris refused. The Bus Company
promazed her, and because Alabama had a law that passengers must obey the conductor, Rosa Parks
was fine,
The Blogposes in Montgomery were so angry that they refused to use the Company busses until Negroes
were treated fairly and politely on them. A group of Negoes organized themselves into a society
called the Montgomery Improvement Society, and their leader was a young Baptist minister, called
Martin Luther King It took courage to lead a Society like this, for many white Americans at that time
were farious the idea that Negroes should be treated like white people. Martin Luther King was
threatened and attacked and bombs were thrown on his home. But he would not allow any of the angry
Negoes to take revenge, for he was completely against any sort of fighting or violence. Eventually
the Supreme Coun said that Negoes had the same rights as the whites to sit on buses.
The idea that violence did no good at all was Martin Luther King's most important belief. Studying the
teachings of God had made him certain that violence was always wrong, even when the cause was
right. Instead he believed in passive resistance that is getting your way by making things difficult for
people who are opposing you without actually fighting or hurting anyone.
King began to organized demonstrations against unfaimess towards Negroes all over the United
Stades. He was determined that Negrocs must have their fill Civil Rights, just as white people had:
that they should be able to vote, go to the same universities and schools, and to get as good jobs; that
they might travel with white people and eat in the same restaurants. But he was also determined that
this should happen peacefully, for he knew that fighting would only lead to hatred and things would be
worse than ever. King was not able to stop all the violence on both sides, but may Negro leaders and
Indeed many white people who wanted Negroes to have the same right, followed his lead. In 1963,
King Led a great civil rights march to Washington, in which 20,000 people, black and white, walked
through the city
There King spoke to them.
"I have a dream," he said that one day this Nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its
ereed...that all men are created equal. This will be the day when God's children will be able to sing
with a new meaning, 'Let freedom ring."
The same year King was given the Nobel Peace Prize. When he received it be made a speech about,
"the need for man to overcome violence and oppression without using violence and oppression'. He
gave the prize money, $10,000 to the civil rights work.
