Answer:
In 1957, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) that quickly took leadership in the Civil Rights Movement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Martin Luther King, a civil rights activist from a young age, organized and carried out various peaceful activities claiming the right to vote, non-discrimination and other basic civil rights for black people in the United States. Among his most remembered actions are the bus boycott in Montgomery, in 1955; his support for the foundation of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), in 1957 (of which he would be its first president); and the leadership of the March on Washington in August 1963, at the end of which he would deliver his famous speech "I have a dream", thanks to which public awareness of the civil rights movement would expand throughout the country. Most of the rights claimed by the movement would be approved with the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
