As one of the giants of the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr. rose to worldwide prominence for his demand for equality of all people through nonviolence and religion. Fusing religion and fellowship, Black churches were an easy messaging system to disperse news of information and political protest. Many African Americans attended Sunday church services and could also attend brainstorming and information meetings about protests. Many protesters of the Montgomery bus boycott were members of the church networks. Though King was assassinated in 1968, his legacy is still prominent in today’s fight for equality. In the same way King modernized DuBois’ message, King’s method of mobilizing through his church networks is now developed into social media outreach.
