The History of Martin Luther King
1.
2. A young Martin
Luther King
Martin Luther King
Jr. as a young boy in
Atlanta , Georgia.
Martin had one
brother and one
sister. Martin went to
college at the age of
16. What do you
think it was like
back in the 1930’s
as an African
American?
3. Whites versus
Blacks
When Martin was
young he could not
understand why black
people did not have
the same rights as
white people. Inspired
by his father, Martin
began preaching
about civil rights as a
young teen. How
would you feel if you
could not go to your
neighborhood school
because of your skin
color?
4. Martin Luther King
as a young pastor
Martin Luther King
followed in his
father’s footsteps
as a young pastor
at the Ebenezer
Baptist Church in
Atlanta. Would you
be nervous to
speak in public
about something
you believed in?
5. The Martin Luther
King Jr. Family
Martin Luther King
continued to study
ministry and earned
the name of Dr.
King. He married his
sweetheart Coretta
Scott in 1958. They
had four children.
Do you think the
King children were
proud of their father
for fighting for equal
rights?
6. Civil Rights
Movement
Martin encountered
a great deal of
violence in his
pursuit of civil rights.
Not everyone
thought black people
should have the
same rights as white
people. What do you
think?
7. March on
Washington
August 28th, 1963
More than 250,000
came to
Washington, DC to
protest and speak out
about inequality
among races. It was
exactly one hundred
years earlier when
President Abraham
Lincoln freed the
slaves. Do you think
the black people were
ever truly free?
8. I have a dream
speech
Martin Luther King, Jr.
made his famous “I
have a dream”
speech. Martin’s
dream was that little
black boys and girls
hold hands with little
white boys and girls
and to walk together
as brothers and
sisters. Do you think
Martin Luther King
would be happy that
his dream came true?
9. Nobel Peace
Prize Award
Martin Luther King
was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize
in 1964. This prize
meant that Martin’s
peaceful work had
been recognized by
the world! The
prize was worth
$54,000. Do you
know what Martin
Luther King did with
the prize money?
10. Dr. King’s tragic
Death
Martin Luther King
was killed in
Tennessee in April
1968 doing what he
loved best; helping a
group of people who
were being treated
unfairly. We
remember Martin
Luther King Jr. each
year on his birthday
January 15th.
