  • Rev A. D. King (brother to Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.) dedicated his life to building a beloved community. He was also committed to the ideals of non-violent social change and direct action as a means of effecting change.
    Rev. A. D. King's house was bombed in Birmingham, May 11, 1963 as a result of his activism in Ensley and Birmingham Alabama. His Church office was also bombed in Louisville, Kentucky. Rev. A.D. King was one of the main strategists of the Selma demonstration.
    According to records of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference ,Sclc archive at the King Center: " It is widely held that the Birmingham demonstrations led directly to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and that the Selma Campaign compelled the U.S. Congress to enact the Voting Rights Act of 1965". Rev. A.D. King led the Open Housing Campaign in Louisville Kentucky which became a national law- The Open Housing Act - 1968. He was a giant and an icon of the Civil Rights Movement in its own right.
    About The Documentary: Rev. A.D. King: Brother To The Dreamer: " Behold The Dream". "The story is compelling, relevant, valuable and practical. A legend of immense proportion as one of the greatest Civil Rights Activists of his time in his own right".
    --- Late Rev. James Orange
