Martin L. King, known as an American clergyman, activist, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement used his own behavior and his own words to achieve the civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience.

King's role in the bus boycott transformed him into a national figure of the civil rights movement.
Also, King was famous for his speech “I Have a Dream”. "I Have a Dream" is a public speech delivered on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States.
