Today we're going to learn about perhaps the best-known leader in the Civil Rights Era, Martin Luther King, Jr. From his rise to notoriety during the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, his leadership of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the March on Washington in 1963, his work toward the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of the mid-1960s, and his assassination in 1968, Dr. King is very broadly known. But maybe he isn't that well understood. Like many extremely famous people, Martin Luther King can sometimes be drawn as a bit of a flat character, and his ideas can be reduced to platitudes. Today we'll try to give you a fuller picture of the man and leader he was. Clint's book, How the Word is Passed is available now! 🤍bookshop.org/a/3859/9780316492935 SOURCES: Rustin, “Montgomery Diary,” Liberation (April 1956): 7–10. D’Emilio, Lost Prophet, 2003.

BmeUT7zH62E&t=11m02s 11:02 is a great example of the depth of King's views, I didn't know of these, these are such powerful stances for him to have died with back in the 60s - modern worldly peoples should be screaming his words from every rooftop haha what a King
"No on should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury" - reminding us all that 2022 was the coinciding year of 50 year inflation high, as well as 50 year corporate profit high - a global wealth tax is the solution
damn this video is so epic, MLKjr was such a badass, his ability to reasonably oppose injustice with such clarity and persuasion was so powerful, thanks so much for the learning !
CrashCourse really is the best at what they do! There's very few figures as impressive as MLK. The man is a real hero.
I said "I need to show my kids some stuff for MLK day. We're at least giving this day an hour of our day off." and we watched a few videos here and there. This one though, they shut-up, and I think this might be one of the only videos they listened to every word of, in ages.
He was a man I feel people can trust. Because of how he practiced what he preached. He wanted all races to be included and he himself included all people.
Thanks!
Thank you for this post! Very informative

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the 🍃 leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
~ Billie Hoilday, (1915-1959) "Strange Fruit." American jazz singer and songwriter
So many tears for how far we have not come. Rest in Power King.
Never forget MLK was only assassinated after he began speaking out against capitalist forces

i have a question, do you have a Harriet Tubman video????
Great episode! Thank you!
Coretta once stated that "it was his pivot to economic equality that got him murdered."
If one wants to read more, Library of America has a two-volume set of writings in "Reporting Civil Rights."
Martin Luther King Jr pledged Alpha Phi Alpha at Boston University not Morehouse College.
