Martin Luther King, Jf., is well- known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches,

among which is his moving “ I have a dream” speech. But fewer people know much about King’s childhood. M.L.,

as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.’s grandfather

purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L was born. His grandfather allowed the

house to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement

of blacks. M.L. grew up in the atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no

doubt influenced by it.

M.L.’s childhood was not especially eventfully. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He

was the second of three children, and he attended all black schools in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was

not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors,

lawyers, and other businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King

never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a huge

barrier keeping black Atlantans from mingling with whites.
