With a simple name change, it seemed that Martin Luther King Jr.’s fate was sealed. Taking the name of a man who led one of the greatest social revolutions of the 16th century, young Martin would later lead an important revolution of his own. He was first born Michael King in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929. King’s father, a prevalent Protestant minister who was also named Michael King, decided to adopt the namesake of the great religious reformer after an inspirational trip to Nazi Germany. The decision to change the name of both himself and his son reflected the King family’s great reverence for religious fervor and dedication – a value that would continue to guide King Jr.’s decisions for the remainder of his life.

Early Life

The King family was a religious institution in Atlanta. King’s grandfather, A.D. Williams, was a traveling minister who transformed the rural Georgia countryside with his fiery revival meetings.
