Jr.? An Excerpt from Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr.? Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. was only 25 when he helped organize the
Montgomery Bus Boycott and was soon organizing black people
across the country in support of the right to vote,
desegregation, and other basic civil rights. Maintaining
nonviolent and peaceful tactics even when his life was
threatened, King was also an advocate for the poor and spoke out
against racial and economic injustice until his death—from an
assassin’s bullet—in 1968. With clearly written text that
explains this tumultuous time in history and 80 black-and-white
illustrations, this Who Was…? celebrates the vision and the
legacy of a remarkable man. To keep up-to-date, input your email
