Many people have linked Obama and Luther King with the concept that Dr Kings message is being realized through the presidential success of Barack Obama.
Upon the inauguration of B Obama, history will be made by the first black man ever to win a United Stated Presidency.
For people who have lived in the oppression that slavery is and the years of hardship endured by the entire mixed race problems, the dream surely has been realized.
Martin Luther King and the early civil rights movement.
King's civil rights activities began in 1955 with a protest against Montgomery's segregated bus system in 1955. That year, a black passenger named Rosa Parks was arrested for disobeying a city law requiring that blacks give up their seats on buses when white people wanted to sit in their seats or in the same row. Black leaders in Montgomery urged African Americans to boycott (refuse to use) the city's buses. The leaders formed an organization to run the boycott, and asked King to serve as president. In his first speech as leader of the boycott, King told his black colleagues:"First and foremost, we are American citizens. ... We are not here advocating violence. ... The only weapon that we have ... is the weapon of protest. ... The great glory of American democracy is the right to protest for right."
I Have A Dream Speech
In the 1960's, civil rights protests expanded further, as African-American college students began entering various fast-food and other retail outlets where blacks were refused service. There were mass demonstrations in such places as Albany, Georgia. Also in the early 1960's, King became increasingly unhappy that President John F. Kennedy was doing little to advance civil rights. Early in 1963, King and his SCLC associates launched massive demonstrations to protest at racial discrimination in Birmingham, Alabama, one of the South's most segregated cities. Police used dogs and fire hoses to drive back peaceful protesters, including children. Heavy news coverage of the violence produced a national outcry against segregation. Soon afterward, President Kennedy proposed a wide-ranging civil rights bill to the U.S. Congress.King and other civil rights leaders then organized a massive march in Washington, D.C. The event, called the March on Washington, was intended to highlight African-American unemployment and to urge Congress to pass Kennedy's bill. On Aug. 28, 1963, over 200,000 Americans, including many whites, gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in the capital.
The high point of the rally was King's stirring "I Have a Dream" speech, which eloquently defined the moral basis of the civil rights movement.
Martin Luther King's Death.
While organizing the Poor People's Campaign, King went to Memphis, Tennessee, to support a strike of black refuse collectors. There, on April 4, 1968, King was shot and killed. James Earl Ray, a white drifter and escaped convict, pleaded guilty to the crime in March 1969 and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. Ray later tried to withdraw his plea, but his conviction was upheld. Years after King's death, some people still doubted that Ray had acted alone. In 1978, a special committee of the U.S. House of Representatives reported the "likelihood" that Ray was aided by others. Ray himself died in a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, in April 1998.People throughout the world mourned King's death. King was buried in South View Cemetery in Atlanta. His body was later moved near to Ebenezer Baptist Church. On King's tombstone are the words: "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I'm free at last."
King's assassination produced immediate shock, grief, and anger. Blacks rioted in more than 100 cities. A few months later, the U.S. Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which prohibited racial discrimination in the sale and rental of most housing in the United States.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 ? April 4, 1968), was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today. King is recognized as a martyr by two Christian churches. The Episcopal and Lutheran Churches in the USA have feast days dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr., on 4th April and and 15th January respectively, as per the Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church in the United States of America), and Calendar of Saints (Lutheran). Neither church has a formal canonization process, and King Jr. is recognized as a martyr in both churches. There is a statue of King Jr. in the Gallery of 20th Century Martyrs at Westminster Abbey, London. A Baptist minister,Lischer, Richard. (2001). The Preacher King, p. 3. King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's 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 racial 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 posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.
