The minister who walked into prison to follow his conscience
Martin Luther King Jr. led the non-violent civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s. He believed that when laws violate justice, disobeying them is a duty of conscience.
He was arrested and jailed 29 times during his protests. Even while locked in a Birmingham cell, he wrote his famous 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' on scraps of paper and newspaper margins, keeping his voice active.
