  Martin Luther King Jr. never held public office, though he considered running for president briefly in 1967. Yet he may have been responsible for more profound change in institutions and attitudes in the United States than any American of the 20th century. His life is a testament to the capacity of determined nonviolent protest and resistance rather than violence and bitterness to bring about change; indeed, such methods may be the only ones that can effect change that really matters.
