King was a key figure in events like the Montgomery bus boycott and the March on Washington, where he delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. As president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, he pushed for desegregation, voting rights, and labor rights. King faced imprisonment and FBI surveillance due to his activism.
