King in a Quiet Moment

King in a Quiet Moment
American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the greatest orators in the history of the United States. From his early leadership of the 1955 bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, King’s words and thoughts caused millions of Americans to reevaluate their attitude toward race relations in the United States.
