Do you mean Martin Luther (the 16th‑century German Reformer) or Martin Luther King Jr. (the 20th‑century U.S. civil‑rights leader)?
Quick summaries to help you pick:
- Martin Luther (1483–1546): German monk and theologian who sparked the Protestant Reformation by posting the 95 Theses in 1517. Key ideas: sola fide (justification by faith alone), sola scriptura (Scripture as the authority). Translated the Bible into German, was excommunicated, and defended his views at the Diet of Worms (1521). Major legacy: formation of Lutheranism and major changes in Western Christianity — also controversial for later anti‑Jewish writings and political stances.
- Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968): American Baptist minister and leader of the civil‑rights movement, advocate of nonviolent resistance. Major actions: Montgomery Bus Boycott, Birmingham Campaign, March on Washington (1963) where he delivered "I Have a Dream." Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964; assassinated in 1968. Legacy: major civil‑rights legislation, ongoing influence on social justice movements.
