Martin Luther King, Jr. 1929 - 1968 IN FOUNDING THE SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. GAVE MOMENTUM TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. DR. KING'S PERSISTENT EFFORTS, INSPIRING ORATORY AND NON-VIOLENT PROTESTS, DESPITE PHYSICAL ATTACKS, DEATH THREATS, AND RETALIATORY VIOLENCE, BROUGHT AMERICA CLOSER TO HIS DREAM OF EQUALITY FOR ALL. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position, his prestige and even his life for the welfare of others." 0000500/00724_0000010590.jpg
