Ten years after the Supreme Court ruling that school segregation was unconstitutional, only 6 black children were accepted into all-white schools in St. Augustine. King and other leaders organized a protest that led to white segregationists attacking the homes of African-American students accepted into the schools, assaults on protesters, and hundreds of arrests. The spread of these violent events helped drive the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

“Today we pay tribute to Martin Luther King Jr, the man who has never abandoned his faith in the unarmed struggle he is waging, who has suffered for his beliefs, who has been imprisoned many times, whose home has been bombed, whose life and that of his family have been threatened and yet he has never hesitated”, concluded the presentation speech of the activist selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Activists fighting for the right to register to vote had attempted to march in protest from Selma to Montgomery, the state capital, about 50 miles away. They were blocked and violently repressed by the state police in an event known as 'Bloody Sunday'.

King led a second march but stopped it just before crossing the bridge where the clashes had taken place, disconcerting the police waiting for them and the activists themselves prepared for violence. Finally a federal judge ruled that they had the right to continue to Montgomery and forced state authorities to open the way. King led a third march that reached the finish line with more than 20,000 people. A few months later, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act

As a second phase of the civil rights movement, King organized the 'campaign of the poor', which sought to analyze and combat poverty from its origin, beyond the African-American community. The pastor had been investigated by the FBI since 1955 for being suspected of being influenced by communism, which was never proven.

King traveled to Memphis to support a movement of striking African-American garbage collectors demanding better working conditions. There he unknowingly gave his last speech.

"What could happen to me from one of our evil white brothers? Like everyone else, I would like to live a long time. Longevity is important, but that is something that does not concern me now," he told his followers gathered in a church.

The next day he was assassinated. James Earl Ray, a white racist from Tennessee was captured in London, UK, and sentenced to 99 years in prison for the crime.
