Abstract	Racism is a serious issue that has been troubling the American society for decades. While the civil rights movement resolved some racial problems such as putting an end to racial segregation, there are still numerous issues that were not resolved, and African Americans remain disadvantaged in many areas of the society from unequal housing to inferior education and health care. This paper strives to illuminate the role of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement and to explain the influence he had as one of the leaders of the movement. King helped to improve the situation for many African Americans during his time by using various nonviolent methods which made him a renowned fighter for human rights. By explaining King’s peaceful ways of fighting for freedom, this paper showcases how those methods influenced today’s civil rights activists and how his ideas about nonviolent protest continue to play an important part of today’s struggle for equality. This paper also gives an insight into the circumstances that have stirred up the racial situation in the year 2020 and led to mass protests for justice around the USA. In addition, this paper illustrates the present-day methods of fighting for freedom that were introduced with the advancement of technology, the Internet, and social networks
