1 955 65438+February1,a 42-year-old black woman got on the bus and found a seat. At this moment, a white man came over. The driver told her to stand up and give her seat to the white man. This is an old habit in the southern United States, and it seems to be used to it. Moreover, Mongolian law stipulates that passengers must obey the driver's instructions, but Mrs. Parks won't let them. When the bus arrived at the next stop, Mrs Parks was arrested for "disorderly conduct" and fined $65,438+00. Black people in this city (accounting for 75% of all passengers in the car company) lodged a solemn protest with the company and announced a "strike". Gail, the mayor of Montgomery, stood on the side of the company against the black citizens, and the leader who stood on the opposite side of the mayor was Reverend Kim. This Harvard doctor, who only talked about Jesus Christ, Socrates, Aristotle and Galileo, came forward and declared that this struggle was a struggle between justice and injustice. The city prosecutor accused Jin, and the judge found him guilty and fined him $65,438+0,000 yuan. Now, the fighting spirit of black people has been strengthened, and "strike riding" has persisted. Pastor King also organized more than 200 talented private cars to solve the problem of inconvenient travel for blacks. The mayor declared Kim's behavior illegal and arrested him. The "strike" activity was in full swing and the case was transferred to the state court. At this time, the Federal Supreme Court declared that racial discrimination was not allowed in public transportation. Reverend King was immediately free, and both the car company and the mayor had to bow to the black people. The boycott lasted 38 1 day.
Reverend King 1960 went to prison again, because he actively participated in and led the new measures against racial discrimination in North and South America this year-blacks occupied seats in segregated restaurants, entered libraries, entered cinemas, bathed in white beaches ..., and King personally led 5 1 person in Atlanta. 1963 was arrested and imprisoned for leading the anti-racial discrimination movement in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham was called "the most completely segregated city in America" by Martin Luther King. Birmingham police chief Connor has been brutally persecuting blacks by means of terror for 23 years. Martin Luther King was determined to face the bull and show it by "sitting down" and marching. The violent police chief used police dogs and high-pressure faucets to deal with black demonstrators.
Pastor King won more and more extensive support in the United States because he advocated fighting for black civil rights through peaceful protests and demonstrations, and won some major legal achievements, and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Reverend King led the "Free March" from Selma to Montgomery in 1965, and won the right of black people to vote fairly. 1966 led a protest against the de facto segregation of schools in Chicago and the poor living conditions in slums. 1967 actively participated in the mass movement against the us-Vietnam war. In a public speech on April 4th, 1967, he called on young Americans to refuse to perform military service, and asked young priests to join the ranks of refusing to perform military service.
1968 is the last year that Pastor Jin lived on this planet. In April this year, Kim went to Memphis to support the city 1300 garbage pickers (mostly black), who have been on strike for two months. On the evening of April 4, when he was talking with several people outside the hotel room, a gunshot came from an apartment across the street and the bullet entered Kim's neck. The black priest and civil rights fighter who advocated non-violence collapsed in the face of violence. The death of a non-violent hero caused unprecedented violence in the United States. 168 towns in the United States were destroyed by black riots, 7 1 1 arson incidents in Washington, 2600 arson incidents nationwide, 2 1270 people were injured and 2600 people were arrested. In order to calm the anger of black people, President Johnson ordered all federal buildings to fly at half mast, which was an unprecedented respect for a black person. On the day of the funeral, two mules pulled an old rural scooter to transport Pastor Jin's coffin to the cemetery, and 654.38 million people lined the streets to see Pastor Jin off for the last time.
The murderer James Ray is a racist with a bad record. He was sentenced many times for criminal offences. He just escaped from Mississippi State Prison to Memphis, and after killing, he fled to Europe. He was arrested at London Heathrow Airport on June 8th and sentenced to 99 years' imprisonment.
Pastor Kim always adhered to the principle of non-violence before his death. When young blacks became more and more intolerant of racial discrimination, he was ridiculed by radical black leaders as "Uncle Tom"-a typical slave who resigned. A group of young black leaders who advocate gun to gun and violence to violence, such as stokely, carmichael, Willie Rick and Rapp Brown, have slogans such as "black power" and "all power belongs to black people". A few of the fiercest black people organized the "Black Panther Party", which quickly disintegrated because it was divorced from the American people and American social reality. Over the past 25 years, historical development has proved that the form of non-violence advocated by Reverend King is more acceptable to people from all walks of life in the United States. At present, neither objective conditions nor subjective conditions can destroy the deep-rooted racism in American society through violent revolution, which is a long and gradual process and requires the joint efforts of the whole society.
Eight years after the death of Reverend King/KLOC-0, the United States government designated his birth date of 65438+1October 20th as a national holiday in the United States, and the United Nations also designated this day as one of the United Nations Memorial Days.
