Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a world-renowned Black minister and activist who helped lead the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 and, later, the broader U.S. civil rights movement. Duhigg argues that Dr. King helped the boycott succeed by instilling new values and habits of nonviolent protest in Montgomery’s Black population. (Eventually, Duhigg believes, King’s leadership set off a similar process in the U.S. public as a whole.)
