Indeed, my friend. Thank you so much for all your support and helping me put that speech together. –
with Bayard Rustin.
Bayard Rustin
Path to Fame
As a Baptist Minister, I became
a civil rights activist early in my
career. I led several protests
such as Montgomery Bus
Boycott. In the 1963 March on
Washington I gave the speech
of my lifetime, “I Have A
Dream”.

Basic Info
About Martin
I am one of the American civil rights’ activist. My passionate, but non violent protests,
helped to raise awareness of racial inequalities in America, leading to significant political
change. I am a orator as well and I always intend to capture the imagination and hearts
of people, both black and white. During my time at university I became aware of the vast
inequality and injustice faced by black Americans and I was particularly influenced by
Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violent protest. I have a dream and I will spend my life
pursuing it.

Alabama, June 18, 1953. I married the most
fascinating woman. Our marriage took place on the

ceremony (350 guests) which we will never forget.
Me leading a group of African-American children to
their newly integrated school in Grenada, Mississippi,
escorted by the famous folk singer, Joan Baez, and
two aides.
Me and my wife leading demonstrators on the fourth

Alabama.
Spending time with my son, Martin III, and my

Me receiving the Nobel Prize for Peace from Gunnar
Jahn, president of the Nobel Prize Committee, in Oslo
