He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. Throughout the late 1950's and early sixties
King served as a symbol of the civil rights movement. Milliona of posters were made throughout the country with his sole face on it. This served as propaganda to the civil rights movement. Kings face also represented change, considering that was what the whole movement was about, as well as most of his speeches.
