Martin Luther King Sr
born Michael King in Stockbridge, Georgia, King was a member of the Baptist Church and decided to become a preacher after being inspired by ministers who were prepared to stand up for racial equality.
King completed his high school education at Bryant Preparatory School, and began to preach in several black churches in Atlanta. In 1926, King started his ministerial degree at the Morehouse School of Religion. On Thanksgiving Day in 1926, after eight years of courtship, he married Alberta in the Ebenezer Church.
The couple had three children in four years: a daughter, Willie Christine King, Martin Luther King Jr,and a second son, Alfred Daniel Williams King.
King became leader of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in March 1931. With the country in the midst of the Great Depression, church finances were struggling, but King organized membership and fundraising drives that restored these to health.
By 1934, King had become a widely respected leader of the local church. That year, he also changed his name (and that of his eldest son) from Michael King to Martin Luther King after a period of gradual transition on his own part.
King was the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church for four decades, wielding great influence in the black community and earning some degree of respect from the white community.
King was a major figure in the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia, where he rose to become the head of the NAACP in Atlanta and the Civic and Political League. He led the fight for equal teachers' salaries in Atlanta. He also played an instrumental role in ending Jim Crow laws in the state. King had refused to ride on Atlanta's bus system since the 1920s after a vicious attack on black passengers with no action against those responsible. King stressed the need for an educated, politically active black ministry.
In October 1960, when King Jr. was arrested at a peaceful sit-in in Atlanta, Robert F. Kennedy, brother and aide to the Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kennedy, telephoned the judge and helped secure his release. Although King Sr. had previously opposed John Kennedy because he was a Catholic, he expressed his appreciation for these calls and switched his support to Kennedy. Until this time, King Sr. had been a lifelong registered Republican, and had endorsed Republican Richard Nixon before switching to endorse Kennedy.
In 1969, King was one of several members of the Morehouse College board of trustees held hostage on the campus by a group of students demanding reform in the school's curriculum and governance. One of the students was Samuel L. Jackson, who was suspended for his actions. Jackson subsequently became an actor and Academy Award nominee.
King died of a heart attack at the Crawford W. Long Hospital in Atlanta on November 11, 1984, at age 84.

Thank you for the history of Martin Luther King's father. You're right many if not most of us was taught about his son.
You do black history month proud. Thanks for this video as I learned alot.
I just found this video and page. Thank you so much for sharing this video and for acknowledging black history month ❤🖤
You are absolutely correct in stating that he was an overlooked figure in American history!. Samuel L Jackson just really adds to this story
so thank you so much great job!!! 🌹❤🌹
The family needs to have someone to clean the headstone and I wonder why they aren't buried close to Martin
Your right, it was good to hear about the man who created The Man, thanks Back Roads ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
Thank you a bunch👏🏽
Very interesting video. I never knew that Actor Samuel L. Jackson held MLK Sr. hostage at Morehouse College. I Wonder why he was never accountable for doing this.
He was. Expelled
What a great sharing I really enjoy your channel it’s Black History and I never gave thoughts on the father of MLK Jr. I enjoy the traveling adventures you have provided . Thanks 🙏🤗
Great video and a wonderful dedication to honor our historical times and individuals. 😊
I don’t know if his other son A.D King is also buried out there. He was found in his pool 15 months after MLK Jr was shot and killed. There is a documentary on Tubi about him. They’re saying he was murdered as well because the coroner refused to do an autopsy but ems workers said he didn’t have any water in his lungs and he was dead before he hit the water.
Very cool grave...great video thanks!!
This was very interesting, and informative. I didn't know about the name changes. thank you 🙏🏼🌟👏

Wow. Born, raised and live in Atlanta and I pass that cemetery countless times taking my child to school and even had a few relatives buried there and I never ever knew the Kings were buried there. Thanks for this very insightful video!
MLK Jr was initially buried at South View before being moved to the King Center. A lot of ATL greats are buried there, including Rep. John Lewis...

Wow I didn't see that coming for sure. Samuel L. Jackson holding Martin King hostage. Thank you for the interesting facts. Wow what a surprise.
thank you show video
If I'm not mistaken Alberta's father was the pastor of Ebenezer and Martin Sr. inherited the leadership of the church. If anyone knows if that is true please let me know.
Yes Sir you are mostly definitely correct. The Reverend Dr. Alfred Daniels Williams, Mrs Alberta Williams King" father was followed by her Husband Reverend Dr. King Sr. as Pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Reverend Dr. A. D. King was the youngest of Dr. King Sr. A.D. King had a son by the name of Reverend Vernon King who passed away a little over a decade ago while he was Pastor of St. James Baptist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina.
I served as a leader in the General Baptist state Convention of North Carolina; Reverend Vernon King was one of my closest colleagues and friends.
I am thankful for the brother who shared this video and thank you for your inquiry. May you and all who see the video and read these word be wonderfully
Blessed!
Sincerely your servant in Christ Jesus,
Pastor Donaldson Jones
Rest In Peace Martin Luther King Sr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Father
Thanks for sharing
i love your videos
Cool story. What most people don't know is that King's wife Alberta, was shot and killed while playing the piano at Ebenezer BC in April 1974,
Your episodes transcend EVERY month, not just February.

DONT KNOW ONE TALK ABOUT HIS MOTHER GETTING KILLED AT CHURCH MLK
Thank you for your tribute to the men & women who stood up for equality and civil rights the peaceful way. We can all learn from them!
MLK jr mother was also assassinated
There's no such thing as having resoect for the dead. Thats not biblical but visiting graves God is against
I and perhaps many others would appreciate it Sir if you would Please direct us to the scripture or scriptures in the Bible that state or teach that God is against visiting the graves of the dearly departed dead.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you
Yes, MLK Sr is my Grandfather.
