MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR:A MAN OF PEACE
Martin Luther King, Jr. was the son of a black Baptist (〈基督教新教〉浸礼会) preacher (牧师). His mother was a school teacher. Young Martin spent a fairly quiet childhood in Atlanta, Georgia. After high school, he went to college and studied to be a minister, like his father. Nobody could have guessed, in those days, the place in history that Martin Luther King, Jr. was to have.
It all started in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1,1955. The buses in Montgomery were segregated (使分离). Black people had to sit in the back of the bus, or stand, if the back was full. One day, a black woman, Rose Parks, was returning home after a hard day's work. She sat in the front of the bus, and then refused to give up her seat to a white passenger who got on the bus after her. Rose Parks was arrested, and the black community of Montgomery was outraged (引起……的义愤).
Martin Luther King, Jr. persuaded the black citizens to protest (抗议) peacefully. He organized a boycott (联合抵制) of the bus service. For 381 days, the buses of Montgomery rolled back and forth on their routes, nearly empty. It was not easy for the blacks to give up riding the buses. For most of them, the buses were their only means of transportation (交通, 运输). They walked, rode in car pools even in horse-drawn wagons and the buses stayed empty. King and his followers were threatened (威胁). King's house was destroyed by a bomb. But still, the buses rolled in empty. At last, the bus company gave in. The law was changed. Martin Luther King, Jr., had won his first protest against injustice－peacefully. King became a famous leader of non-violent demonstrations (非暴力示威).
King led protests and demonstrations all over the country during the next few years. Everywhere he went, he preached love, patience, and most of all, non-violence. He believed that blacks could win their struggle for equal rights without violence. Millions of people all over the world knew about King and his beliefs. He was both admired and criticized, loved and hated.
In 1964, King won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was only thirty-four years old－the youngest man to ever receive this high honor.
