Facts about Martin Luther King Jr.
His birth name was Michael not Martin. His father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his five-year-old son.
2. He was imprisoned nearly 30 times while fighting for equal rights.
3. He entered college at the age of 15 because he was such a gifted student that he skipped grades nine and twelve before enrolling in 1944 at Morehouse College.
Famous MLK quotes
"The time is always right to do what is right."
"Darkness cannot drive out; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great of a burden to bear."
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
