Martin Luther King Jr. & Civil Rights

Martin Luther King Jr. & Civil Rights

November: USA


During the 1950s and 1960s, African Americans faced discrimination and segregation in many parts of the United States.

They were often treated unfairly because of the colour of their skin.

Martin Luther King Jr. fought for equality and justice and believed that everyone should have the same rights, no matter their race.

He encouraged people to fight against injustice through peaceful protests, speeches and demonstrations.

His work helped bring attention to the Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for equal rights.

Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as a symbol of courage, hope and equality.

The word of the day:  segregation /ˌseɡrɪˈɡeɪʃn/

Meaning: the practice of keeping different groups of people apart

Example: Segregation forced Black and white Americans to use separate schools and public places.
