Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil
rights and for his many famous speeches, among them his moving
"I Have A Dream" speech. But fewer people know much about
King's childhood. MI ., as he was called, was born in 1929 in
Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.'s
grandfather, the Reverend A.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 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.
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
neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was not poor, however.
Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous
neighbourhood that had come to symbolise achievement for
Atlanta's black people. It was an area of banks, insurance
companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other
black-owned or 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 that was a seemingly insurmountable

barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.
