The Forty-Ninth State Fellows of the 新加坡六合彩开奖 Honors College call the attention of the University community to the anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr., Jan. 15, 1929. With degrees in sociology and divinity and a Ph.D. from Boston University, King was appointed a pastor in Montgomery, Alabama in 1954. He became an early leader in the civil rights movement. His essential message was that institutionalized segregation violated the most basic human right on which the nation was founded, equality, and must be fought, but by non-violent means. He led the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956 after the arrest of Rosa Parks, and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He achieved lasting fame with his speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., during the 1963 civil rights march on Washington. He was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, and posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a Congressional Gold Medal.
