AT A YOUNG AGE• Even at a young age King was good a public speaking

“SIT-IN” MOVEMENT
• This movement started because black students were being segregated at lunch counters in city stores.
• Martin Luther King Jr. thought that was wrong. Black students shouldn’t be segregated at a lunch counter
because of the color of their skin
