King tailored his message to his intended audience. As an ally in the Evangelical movement for social justice put it "He could, in turn, be raucous, smooth, erudite, eloquent, vulgar, and even salacious, [without being] a chameleon or a hypocrite". Jonathan Rieder remarked that King had an "uncommon ability to glide in out of black, white and other idioms and identities in an elaborate dance of empathy. Straddling audiences, he blurred not just the lines between them but their very meaning".

After ending the segregation laws, King fought to create an organization to tackle segregation in other communities. King invited more than 60 African American church leaders to a series of meetings to discuss campaigns. King and the SCLC allowed a bigger range of African Americans to become involved in the civil rights struggle through boycotts, sit-ins, and other peaceful protests. King played a leadership role as the public face of civil rights campaigns and as he was careful to maintain a public image that would be acceptable to America's white majority. King carefully cultivated his image so that people thought of him as moderate. His moderate image enabled him to recruit a critical mass of white Americans to join the movement.

Martin Luther King Jr was born on Tuesday, January 15 1929 at his home in Atlanta Georgia. He lived with his parents, Reverend Martin Luther King Sir. and Alberta Williams King, as well as his grandparents and his two siblings, Christine and Alfred Daniel Williams King. All children took piano lessons from their mother, they enjoyed playing sports like football and baseball and enjoyed doing side jobs. Martin was a paper boy and wanted to be a fireman when he grew up. Reverend Martin Luther King Sir was a baptist minister and was in charge of the childrens moral and religious education. From the time Martin was born, he knew that black people had different rights than white people did. If black people wanted to go out to eat, they had to sit in a certain part of the restaurant. If they wanted to see a movie, they had to sit in the back of the theatre. He however, did not understand the Jim Crow Laws that kept the white people apart from the black people. At the age of five, Martin Luther King Jr began school at Yonge Street Elementary school in Atlanta. The legal age was six however so Martin was not able to continue his education until he became six. Following his education at Yonge Street Elementary school, he attended David T. Howard elementary school. He also attended the Atlanta University Laboratory school and Booker T. Washington high school. He scored so high on his college entrance exam at Booker high school that he did not formally finish high school, he went on to college in his junior year of high school.

Martin Luther King Jr's goal was to raise the public's awareness of racism and to end racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. Martin also wanted racial equality and King plotted out several objectives that involved campaigns for the equal rights of African Americans. In 1955 King became involved in his first major civil rights campaign in Montgomery Alabama were buses were racially segregated. Rosa parks, a woman who refused to give up her seat in the middle of the bus, inspired Martin and he choose her to be the face of his new campaign for several reasons. Her good standing with the community, her employment and her marital status. Rosa helped contribute to the image Martin Luther King Jr wanted to put out there for the world to see. King was able to get the whole community involved and develop an effective response to all the arrests that were taking place. King demanded equal rights for transportation and after a year long boycott racial segregation was banned and King began to lead the way.

Even after the 19th century, institutionalized racism continued to oppress African Americans. By the 20th century, blacks were still forced to use separate utilities and schools. They suffered routine discrimination in employment and housing, abuse and lynching. It was the idea of being able to see black people and white people be equal some day that made Martin Luther King Jr decide to join in the fight for civil rights for black Americans.
