Martin Luther King was a great man who fought to win equal rights for black people in the US. He suffered racial discrimination when he was very young. In 1943, he was asked to give his seat to white people on the bus. But he didn’t want to give up his seat. In 1955, he organised a bus protest and won the right for black people to sit next to white people on buses. After this victory, he organised further protests in the 1960s. In 1963, he organised a march to Washington, D.C. and gave an impressive and inspiring speech with the words “I have a dream”. The next year, King received the Nobel Peace Prize. But, unfortunately, he was killed a few years later in 1968. It was a great loss.
