After he graduated from Morehouse he attended Boston University were he earned his Ph.D. in theology. After he earned his Ph.D. King moved to Montgomery Alabama. In 1955 King soon after he moved to Montgomery he became the pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church (134). This is where King started his career as a social activist. .
Shortly after he moved to Montgomery a woman named Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat on a bus to a white man. Local black leaders then asked King if he would be the new leader of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). The MIA was going to be in charge of a short boycott of the Montgomery Bus Company because of what happened to Rosa Parks (Levy 9). After King accepted the job he started to use a peaceful methods of protesting. He believed in nonviolent direct action. King used this style of nonviolent action because it, "seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue (King 119). He utilized black churches and appealed to white people to make the boycott successful (Garrow). As the head of the MIA King also had to give speeches for the boycott. When he spoke at the Holt Street Baptist Church, he said, "We are tierd-tired of being segregated and humiliated, tired of being kicked by the brutal feet of oppression."" He also said that the blacks needed, "to protest,"" but in a peaceful way and that, "our actions must be guided by the deepest principles of our Christian Faith."" Soon after he took the job at the MIA, King was known nation wide. King took what was supposed to be a short boycott and made it last over a year, even with the constant bomb threats, and the Ku Klux Klan. The Supreme Court eventually ruled that what the Montgomery Bus Company did was unconstitutional (Levy 10). .
