What are the stories that will matter the most in politics, media and tech? Where is power changing, and how do we make sense of it? "Zhuangzi - The Essential Texts: With Translations from Traditional Commentaries". We go deep into the origins, main writings and later development of the religion, and its connection to other traditions.Ī special thank you to Bertrand Linet who generously allowed me to use his footage in this video. Kennedy.One of the main religious traditions in China - Daoism - is the subject of this video. His work is credited to the adoption of various laws ending racial segregation and providing black with the right to vote by President John F. At the civil rights march in Washington, D.C., in 1963, he gave his famous “I have a dream” speech. He was involved in several civil rights campaigns, such as the Albany Movement in 1961 and the Birmingham Campaign in 1963. He led several marches to exercise pressure in Washington, D.C., to introduce the rights of blacks to vote and other civil rights denied to the black population in the South. King rightly believed that non-violent protest was the right manner to raise awareness among the American population on the struggles experienced by the African-American population in the South through the power of media reports which ultimately proved successful. Later on, he was involved in the founding of the Gandhi Society for Human Rights which was used for fundraising purposes. In 1957, King and some other civil rights activists founded the so-called Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) whose main aim was to organise non-violent protest against racial segregation and discrimination by black churches as inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. Gayle ultimately revoked racial segregation on all buses in Montgomery, transforming King into a nationally-known figure and the most prominent speaker of the civil rights movement. He first became active in the civil rights movement in 1955 after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and acted as the co-organiser of the so-called Montgomery Bus Boycott that lasted for an entire year and also included an arrest of King. All of that proved influential in his fight against racial segregation and the so-called “Jim Craw laws” enforcing it. At school, he developed an excellent public-speaking ability and joined the debate team which would come in handy later in life. He witnessed his father, Reverend Michael King, Sr., fight segregation on many occasions, including a civil rights march of several hundred African Americans in Atlanta he led in 1936 to fight voting discrimination in front of city hall.
The first time he came across racism in his own life was at the tender age of six when the parents of his white friend prohibited the boys from interacting due to a different skin colour and the two friends also had to attend different schools. Born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, to a Christian family, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the mastermind behind the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s that allowed for the adoption of several laws banning discrimination of black people (Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act).
