The Montgomery Bus Boycott
                                  King first achieved national renown
                                  when he helped organise the
                                  boycott of the Montgomery bus
                                  companies in 1955.

                                  This was organised after Rosa Parks,
                                  a black woman, had refused to give
                                  up her seat on the bus to a white
                                  man.



The 382 day boycott led the bus
company to change its
regulations, and the supreme
court declared segregation
unconstitutional.
SCLC

In 1957 King was active in the
organisation of the Southern Leadership
Christian Conference (SCLC) formed to
co-ordinate protests against
discrimination. The SCLC was led by an
elected board most of which from
individual churches or community
organisation.

King used non-violent methods of
protest which included civil
disobedience, based on those of Ghandi
when protesting against British rule in
India.
Birmingham Protests
                                        •In 1963 King led mass protests
                                        against discrimination in Birmingham,
                                        Alabama where the white population
                                        were violently resisting
                                        desegregation.
                                        •The city was dubbed “Bombingham”
                                        as attacks against civil rights
                                        protesters increased and king was
                                        arrested for his part in the protests.


 Birmingham was a KKK stronghold
 and King described it as America’s
 worst city for racism. Meaning legal
 and economic disparities as well as
 violent retribution when they tried
 to bring attention to these
 problems.

through his neck, and stopped at his shoulder blade.

was pronounced dead at 7:05 p.m.

streets across the United States in a massive wave of
riots.
•The FBI investigated the crime, but many believed

innocent.
