Don't you hate it when people tell you to do it yourself. Here is some info there are links on the link that I typed below that will help. I wish the net was around when I was in school.

Good Luck email with any other questions. My brother was named after Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Clergyman / Activist / Civil Rights Figure
Martin Luther King, Jr. was an African-American clergyman who advocated social change through non-violent means. His writings and public appearances shaped the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s. A powerful speaker and a man of great spiritual strength, he became the public face of civil rights. In 1963 (the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation), King organized a march on Washington, D.C. that drew 200,000 people demanding equal rights for minorities. In 1964 King won the Nobel Peace Prize, becoming at the time the youngest recipient ever. He was shot to death by James Earl Ray in 1968 while visiting Memphis, Tennessee.
Extra credit: King married Coretta Scott on 18 June 1953. The couple had four children: Yolanda (born 1955), Martin Luther III (b. 1957), Dexter (b. 1961), and Bernice (b. 1963).

Dr. King joins Marian Anderson and other African American leaders in our loop on Black History Month.

Other champions of non-violent resistance: Mohandas Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau.

I would checkout Selma, Alabama./civilrights movement. There should be some excellent material if you would try that. I have seen the bridge where Martin Luther King marched across and it sure brought it to light for me.
