Reading: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Volume 13 - Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King,
Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929
– April 4, 1968) was a leader in the American civil rights
movement.
A Baptist minister, he became a civil rights activist early in his career.
He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–6) and helped found the Southern
Christian
Leadership Conference (1957), serving as its first president. His efforts
led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream"
speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement
and established
himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.
In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for
his work to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience
and other non-violent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused
his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious
perspective.
King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was awarded
the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004;
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a national holiday in the United
States in 1986.

9 - Robert Smalls
Robert Smalls (April 5, 1839 - February 23, 1915) was a multiracial slave who
became a national hero when he freed himself and his family from slavery on May
13, 1862 by commandeering a Confederate transport ship, The Planter, to freedom
in Charleston harbor. During his political career, Smalls authored legislation
that created the first public school system in America in South Carolina, founded
the Republican Party of South Carolina, and successfully convinced President
Lincoln to accept African American soldiers into the Union army - a feat which
some say infused the additional manpower that helped the Union win the Civil
War.

10 - Joseph Cinque & The Amistad Mutiny
Sengbe Pieh (1813 – ca. 1879), later known
as Joseph CinquÎ, was a West African man of
the Mende tribe who was the most prominent
defendant in the Amistad case, in which it
was found that he and 52 others had been victims
of the illegal Atlantic slave trade. CinquÎ
led a revolt, killing the captain and the cook
of the ship; two slaves also died, and two
sailors escaped. JosÎ Ruiz and Pedro Montez.
The Spaniards transported the captives on a
ship called the Amistad, with the intention
of selling them as slaves in Cuba for work
at sugar plantations. The case was appealed
to the US Supreme Court. In March 1840, the
Supreme Court of the United States ruled that
the Africans mutinied to regain their freedom
after being kidnapped and sold illegally. The
advocacy of former U.S. President John Quincy
Adams, together with Roger Sherman Baldwin,
was critical to the Africans' defense. The
Court ordered the Africans to be freed and
to be returned to Africa, if they wished (which
they did).

12 - Black Cowboys
When the gunsmoke and the dust of the cattle
herds lifted, somewhere along the trail some
5,000 Black Cowboys were lost by our historians.
Writers of western fiction along with the producers
of western movies had ignored the Black Cowhand.
However, the facts show that Black Men also
rode the cattle trails and were heroes and
villians too, as they faced all the dangers
of a cowboy's life. This book tells the stories
of but a few of these men.
