Mart luther and alberta Williams were his parents'names. with siblings alfred and Willie Christine, Martin would play games, At Ebenezer Baptist church in Atlanta, they were Raised, their father was "minister King" where the congregation praised. Martin graduated from high school early, at age 15,and went to morehouse college, grew in knowledge though just a teen. He learned Thoreau protested *beep* in 1849. Then at Crozer Seminary, he sought god's great design, he weighed the peaceful tactics Mahatma Gandhi used at every turn. though he finished top of his class, he still had so much to learn. So off he went to study at Boston university, Met and married his wife, coretta scott, in 1953. learned theology, worked toward diversity, cared for the poor, til' he took a job as a pastor in 1954. T'was in Montgomery, Alabama, where hate was winning out. The whites claimed things wede "separate, but equal," But Martin had his doubts, "jim crow Laws" Enforced separation between the blacks and whites. blacks sat in the back of the bus, Violating human rights. in '55 Rosa parks was arrested for sitting in the front. without a doubt this historic event forged a battlefront. so Martin led a bus boycott, People walked to inspire a fix. to the protesters' Glee, the laws were changed in '56. (Dr.king preached resistance, was most effective through Non-violence.)(uh okay) Martin continued to advocate for the NAACP. he spoke of civil rights, as he traveled from sea to sea, next he led the southern Christian leadership conference. to help people toward the goal of fairness and tolerance.
