King led the boycott, which lasted 385 days and was in response to Rosa Park’s arrest under the segregation laws. Following a 1956 ruling, it ended when the Supreme Court announced that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.

King led the Birmingham community to call out police brutality and injustice. The campaign proved that consequences exist for those that act unfairly based on race. It also set precedence for future hearings involving similar acts.

King was one of the leaders that arranged the March on Washington for job creation and freedom. The march took place in Washington, D.C.with over 250,000 participants.

This act ended segregation in public places and banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It is considered one of the primary legislative achievements of the civil rights movement. King’s activism helped to shape the qualifiers of the act. 

King received a Nobel prize for his non violent struggel for civil rights for the Afro American population
