马丁路德金简介

马丁·路德·金（英语：Martin Luther King, Jr.，1929年1月15日－1968年4月4日），美国民权运动领袖,因采用非暴力推动美国的民权进步而为世瞩目。1955年12月1日，一位名叫做罗沙·帕克斯的黑人妇女在公共汽车上拒绝给白人让座位，因而被蒙哥马利节警察当局的当地警员以违反公共汽车座位隔离条令为由逮捕了她。马丁·路德·金立即组织了蒙哥马利罢车运动（蒙哥马利市政改进协会），号召全市近5万名黑人对公共法与公司进行长达1年的抵制，迫使法院判决取消地方运输工具上的座位隔离。从此他成为民权运动的领袖人物。1958年他因流浪罪被逮捕。1963年金组织了争取黑人工作机会和自由权的华盛顿游行.1963年8月28日在林肯纪念堂前发表《我有一个梦想》的演说，并因此获得1964年诺贝尔和平奖。《我有一个梦想》被公认为美国演讲史上最优秀的演讲之一。[109]华盛顿大游行，特别是金的演讲使民权运动成为美国改革家的首要议题，也推动了1964年通过《民权法案》。1968年4月4日，他在旅馆的阳台被一名种族分子刺客开枪正中喉咙致死。

1986年1月，总统罗纳德·里根签署法令，规定每年一月份的第三个星期一为美国的马丁·路德·金全国纪念日以纪念这位伟人，并且订为法定假日。迄今为止美国只有三个以个人纪念日为法定假日的例子，分别为纪念发现美洲大陆的哥伦布的Columbus Day （十月第二个星期一），纪念乔治·华盛顿的Presidents' Day（二月第三个星期一），与此处所提到的马丁·路德·金纪念日。他以和平抗争维护了《独立宣言》和《联邦宪章》自由平等民主正义的基本价值观，为美国人民广泛推崇而享誉美国历史。
