Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. opened his campaign in Chicago on January 17, 1966, marking the beginning of the Chicago Freedom Movement. This initiative aimed to address systemic issues such as housing discrimination, education inequality, and employment injustice in the North. It was one of King’s first major efforts to confront civil rights challenges outside the South and is considered a pivotal moment in the history of the civil rights movement in the United States.
