MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social
activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement
from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma Gandhi, King sought equality
for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of
injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind
watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the
March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of
1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
The second child of Martin Luther King Sr. (1899-1984), a pastor, and Alberta Williams King (1904-1974), a
former schoolteacher, Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 15, 1929. Along with
his older sister, the future Christine King Farris (born 1927), and younger brother, Alfred Daniel Williams
King (1930-1969), he grew up in the city’s Sweet Auburn neighborhood, then home to some of the most
prominent and prosperous African Americans in the country.
A gifted student, King attended segregated public schools and at the age of 15 was admitted to Morehouse
College, the alma mater of both his father and maternal grandfather, where he studied medicine and law.
Although he had not intended to follow in his father’s footsteps by joining the ministry, he changed his
mind under the mentorship of Morehouse’s president, Dr. Benjamin Mays, an influential theologian and
outspoken advocate for racial equality. After graduating in 1948, King entered Crozer Theological Seminary
in Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree, won a prestigious fellowship and was
elected president of his predominantly white senior class. King then enrolled in a graduate program at
Boston University, completing his coursework in 1953 and earning a doctorate in systematic theology two
years later. While in Boston he met Coretta Scott (1927-2006), a young singer from Alabama who was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music. The couple wed in 1953 and settled in Montgomery, Alabama, where King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. They had four children: Yolanda
Denise King (1955-2007), Martin Luther King III (born 1957), Dexter Scott King (born 1961) and Bernice
Albertine King (born 1963).
