Martin
Luther-King was born in Atlanta,
Georgia in 1929. He first attracted
international attention in the
struggle to de-segregate
the southern States of America
with the 1955 bus boycott in
Montgomery, Alabama. Over the
next decade he supported and
helped organise many other actions
and campaigns.
His
prophetic and inspiring vision of
equality and dignity for US blacks
('I have a dream...') has echoed
down the years. He was assassinated
April 4, 1968, at the age of 39
whilst in Memphis, Tennessee, in
support of striking African American
sanitation workers
