1929 – 1968
Martin Luther King Jr.
A minister with a dream — that everyone should be treated the same.
The Story
Martin grew up seeing that Black people and white people were treated very differently.
He believed everyone should be friends, no matter what they look like.
Instead of fighting, he led marches and gave speeches full of hope.
One day, he told a huge crowd, 'I have a dream!'
His dream still helps people be kinder to each other today.
