After 3. 81 days of nearly universal participation by citizens of the black community, many of whom had to walk miles to work each day as a result, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in transportation was unconstitutional. In 1. 95. 7, Dr. King was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization designed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement.

He would serve as head of the SCLC until his assassination in 1. American civil rights movement. In 1. 96. 3, he led a coalition of numerous civil rights groups in a nonviolent campaign aimed at Birmingham, Alabama, which at the time was described as the “most segregated city in America.” The subsequent brutality of the city’s police, illustrated most vividly by television images of young blacks being assaulted by dogs and water hoses, led to a national outrage resulting in a push for unprecedented civil rights legislation. It was during this campaign that Dr. King drafted the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” the manifesto of Dr.

King’s philosophy and tactics, which is today required- reading in universities worldwide. Later in 1. 96. 3, Dr. King was one of the driving forces behind the March for Jobs and Freedom, more commonly known as the “March on Washington,” which drew over a quarter- million people to the national mall.

This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.”Also in 1. March on Washington, Congress passed the landmark Civil Rights Act, essentially eliminating legalized racial segregation in the United States.

The legislation made it illegal to discriminate against blacks or other minorities in hiring, public accommodations, education or transportation, areas which at the time were still very segregated in many places. The next year, 1. Congress went on to pass the Voting Rights Act, which was an equally- important set of laws that eliminated the remaining barriers to voting for African- Americans, who in some locales had been almost completely disenfranchised. This legislation resulted directly from the Selma to Montgomery, AL March for Voting Rights lead by Dr. King. Between 1. 96.

Dr. King shifted his focus toward economic justice – which he highlighted by leading several campaigns in Chicago, Illinois – and international peace – which he championed by speaking out strongly against the Vietnam War.
