| 1929-1968 |
Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael Luther King, Jr.) was a prominent leader of the Civil Rights Movement, pastor, humanitarian and activist born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He received many awards like the Nobel Peace Prize, the Congressional Gold Metal, Presidental Metal of Freedom and many others. He married Coretta Scott and from this union they had four children, Martin III, Yolanda, Dexter and Bernice.
His famous and well-known "I Have A Dream" speech resonates throughout the world to this day. His untimely death on April 4, 1968, when he was assasinated in Memphis, Tennessee may have silenced his voice, but it cannot silence his message! Long live the "DREAM!"
