Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality
Title Slide
Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality by Mackenzie Flaws. Martin Luther King Jr. played an important role in the civil rights movement during the 1950’s and 1960’s. This presentation will discuss King’s ideas and the impacts he made on social change within America.
The Beginning: The Montgomery Bus Boycott
MLK was a minister at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church when Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat on a segregated bus to a white man. He was nominated by members of the church to lead the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) and ended up becoming the chair of MIA (Wilson, 2005). King helped develop the local boycott into a social justice movement that reached international significance while also developing his main idea of nonviolent social change (Carson, 2005).
Civil Rights Movement: A Leader for Nonviolence
The violent tactics of the white supremacists is what caused King to develop nonviolence resistance as a practical strategy. There are more than a thousand documented violent incidences committed by the white supremacists aimed towards stopping integration from 1956-1966 including burning, bombing, abduction, castration, and murder (Bermanzohn, 2000). King believed that using a nonviolence strategy would force the state to recognize and combat the racist violence that was being enacted upon the African American race (Bermanzohn, 2000).
Civil Rights Movement: The Power of Words
King is most widely known for his powerful speeches that resonated with everyone who heard him. He would use his speeches to reinforce his ideas for nonviolent social change and quest for equality among all races. I Have a Dream is one of his most famous speeches that was presented at a gathering of 250,000 people at the Washington Monument before the March on Washington. He had a singular goal of expressing the dire need to secure basic civil rights for African Americans. King was the only speaker that ultimately captured the collective conscience of the American people and his words transformed the March on Washington into an unforgettable historic event (Vail, 2000).
Birmingham Campaign: The Turning Point
“Don’t worry about your children, they’re going to be alright. Don’t hold them back if they want to go to jail. For they are doing a job for not only themselves, but for all of America and for all mankind” (King, 1963, as cited in The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, 2020). The Birmingham Campaign was a ...

Texas State Presents the 2015 Mass Comm Week
By Tyler Mahan
National Geographic managing editor David Brindley, New York Times best-selling author
Domingo Martinez and alumna Bharati Naik, a field producer for CNN International in London,
are among many outstanding speakers already scheduled to make presentations at the 2015 Mass
Comm Week, Oct. 19-23.
Martinez, who lives in Seattle, Wash., has written recently critically acclaimed books, “My Heart
Is a Drunken Compass” and “The Boy Kings of Texas,” which has been optioned by HBO for an
original series. Among other speakers are Jeffrey Epstein, director of the Chicago Portfolio
School; and Chris Perez of Austin, CEO of Left/Right Media, publishers of Citygram Austin.
Ms. Naik received her master’s degree at Texas State’s School of Journalism and Mass
Communication in 2005. She has reported on the civil war in Sri Lanka and terrorist attacks in
India. Her current assignments include global and women’s issues. She joined CNN as in intern
during the fall of 2005.
Such experiences have led Mass Comm Week organizers to choose “Kick Off Your Career” as
the theme for this year’s four-day conference.
“This year’s stellar lineup, like every one, brings to Texas State University leaders in their
respective fields to discuss industry issues and evolving challenges,” said Ms. Elizabeth Clark,
senior lecturer and faculty chair of Mass Comm Week.”
Each year, Mass Comm Week attracts thousands of students to events on campus and thousands
more who tune into live-streamed events from throughout the country and around the world. The
audience is expanded through the active and immediate participation on various social media
platforms.
The event also gives about 100 high school students from Laredo an opportunity to attend
programs and visit the University as part of the D.D. Hachar Charitable Trust Fund.
Events are free and open to the public. For current information about Mass Comm Week, visit
