How did martin luther king jr significantly contribute to african americans rights

Martin Luther King was an American Baptist minister, political leader, and one of the most prominent members of the African-American civil rights movement.  

King became famous in the 1950s and 1960s thanks to his non-violent opposition to racial segregation in the United States, including the march to Washington on August 28, 1963, and boycotting city buses that favored whites. His verbal and rhetorical skills and charisma earned him a lot of fame, but King also had enemies. In 1963, he gave his legendary speech "I Have a Dream" on the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial, in which he expressed his hope that people would someday be judged by their behavior and not by their skin color. A year later, on December 10, 1964, he received the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1968, Martin Luther King was shot at the age of 39 while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. For many, Martin Luther King has remained a symbol of the civil rights movement in the United States.
