H. Read the passage and do the task below.
Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for
his many famous speeches, among them 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 5 the home of his
maternal grandfather. M.L.'s grandfather, the ReverendA.D. Williams,
purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before
M.L. was born. The Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an

important role in the community since so many people's lives centered
around the church. He allowed his church and his home 10 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 this atmosphere, with
his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt
influenced by it.
15 M.L.'s childhood was not especially eventful. 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 the main
artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize
achievement 20 for Atlanta's black people. It was an area of banks,
insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and
other black-owner black-operated 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 25 that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black
Atlantans from mingling with whites.
