He was the second of three children and named Michael after his father, though both changed their names to Martin while MLK Jr was still young. Both King Jr and his siblings were born into a financially secure middle class family and received a better education compared to most of the same race.

He challenged the 'minority' label he was stuck with by going against the rules to try to get equal rights for his people. It was a huge risk for him to do so. After King many other minorities started protesting for equals rights as well.

What was I inspired by the most

tpyma01 — 2018-03-03 10:09:42 UTC

I was inspired by King in so many aspects. King’s determination and never giving up is what inspires me the most. He didn’t give up when he was fighting for what was right even after coming out of jail he still projected his thoughts and beliefs to his country. I would like to have the courage that King did as he didn’t stop until he was murdered. He fought for what was right and impacted so many people. I know that if I was in a situation I would not have the courage to continue to fight for what was right after going to jail and continually being shut down for speaking up for what is right.

Martin Luther King Jr's childhood

tpyma01 — 2018-03-04 01:08:12 UTC

King was a smart child and started realise that people were being treated differently because of their skin colour. King knew this wasn't right and when he went out with his family he could see the racism happening first hand. King and his father once went into a shoe store and the clerk working told them to go to the back of the store as "They do not serve coloured people in the front of the store". King started school at 6 years old and continued until the school unallowed him to continue his education.
