READING
Martín Luther King
Martin Luther King was born in Atlanta in the south of the USA in 1929. His family
was rich and Martin had good educational opportunities. At that time in the USA, there
was a lot of discrimination against people who were black like Martin. Black people
couldn’t go into certain restaurants, and they could only sit in certain parts of the buses
and they couldn’t vote in elections. Martin decided to change all this. He organised
marches and other protests. He spent some time in prison but slowly the laws began to
change. In 1963 a crowd of 200,000 people listened to Martin’s famous “I have a
dream” speech. In 1964 he won the Nobel Peace Prize. At last in 1965, black people had
the right to vote. In 1968 someone assassinated Martin. Today they remember him the
third Monday in January – a public holiday in the USA.
