What were three of Martin Luther King Jrs Accomplishments?
There are many great accomplishments that Dr. King achieved in his life, and had he not been murdered, he would have done much more. Here are some of the things he managed to do : 1. He was the leader of the first non-violent African American movement, in December 1955, attempting to overturn Jim Crow laws, which relegated African Americans and other minorities to the back of buses. The boycott of buses was inspired by Ms. Rosa Parks, and lasted 385 days, and on December 21, 1956, the Supreme Court invalidated the segregation of buses. 2. He was the author of the famous “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, written in 1963, to other preachers, to turn their indifference towards the civil rights movement and bring about a change of heart, so they could support his efforts and the efforts of the N.A.A.C.P. 3. He was the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, when he was 35 years old. He used the money from the prize to further civil rights causes. Hope this helps you.
