Martin Luther King Jr was born Michael King Jr on January 15 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. He was the second of three children of Michael King Sr and Alberta King. He became prominent because he is one of the most visible spokespeople in the American civil rights movement aside from being a minister. He is also known as MLK.

That’s why most of his accounts, speeches, and sermons were compiled and turned into books and even films. Some of the most famous books include Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, Why We Can’t Wait, A Gift of Love: Sermons From Strength to Love, and The Trumpet of Conscience, among others.

Michael King Sr. and Jr. became Martin Luther when King Jr. father was sent on a trip that changed his perspective forever. When he was in Germany, he saw the place where a German monk named Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg castle church, which led to the protestant reformation. After that trip, King Jr. father immediately changed his name and his son’s name. Martin Luther King Jr was 28 years old at that time.
