Lincoln and Martin Luther King were both equally important in establishing official equal rights for coloured people. Lincoln went to war with the Southern USA in order to end slavery and emancipate the negro races- Martin Luther King led a peaceful campaign to ensure that black people had the same civil rights enshrined in law as white people do. Rosa Parks probably ranks less highly than Lincoln or King, but she very bravely set a precedent for non-violent civil disobedience to racist segregation. However, if she hadn't done it, then it's inevitable that somebody somewhere would have eventually did what she did, by the law of averages.
