The King and Williams families had roots in rural Georgia. Martin Jr.'s grandfather, A.D. Williams, was a rural minister for years and then moved to Atlanta in 1893. 
He took over the small, struggling Ebenezer Baptist church with around 13 members and made it into a forceful congregation. He married Jennie Celeste Parks and they had one child that survived, Alberta. 
Martin Luther King, Jr., is known for his contributions to the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. His most famous work is his “I Have a Dream” (1963) speech, in which he spoke of his dream of a United States that is void of segregation and racism. He passed away on april 4, 1968. He was asssasinated by firearm by James Earl Ray.
While in Boston, King met Coretta Scott, a native Alabamian who was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music. They were married in 1953 and had four children. King had been pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, slightly more than a year when the city’s small group of civil rights advocates decided to contest racial segregation on that city’s public bus system following the incident on December 1, 1955, in which Rosa Parks, an African American woman, had refused to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger and as a consequence was arrested for violating the city’s segregation law. Activists formed the Montgomery Improvement Association to boycott the transit system and chose King as their leader. He had the advantage of being a young, well-trained man who was too new in town to have made enemies; he was generally respected, and it was thought that his family connections and professional standing would enable him to find another pastorate should the boycott fail.]]> 2019-09-30 03:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_jason_raffles/w32f9rb790qe/wish/391132329 https://padlet.com/mark_jason_raffles/w32f9rb790qe/wish/391132596 Alexander was born July 20 356 B.C.E., he became king after his father was assassinated by his bodyguard Pausanias and after that he claimed the Macedonian throne and killed his rivals before they could challenge his sovereignty. 

After that, he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and continue Macedonia’s world domination. 

Alexander appointed the general Antipater as regent and headed for Persia with his army. They crossed the Hellespont, a narrow strait between the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara, and faced Persian and Greek forced at the Granicus River. Victory went to Alexander and the Macedonians. 

Alexander then headed south and easily took the city of Sardes. But his army encountered resistance in the cities of Miletus, Mylasa and Halicarnassus. Under siege yet not beaten, Halicarnassus held out long enough for King Darius the third, the newest Persian king, to amass a substantial army. 

Legend had it that Alexander became famous because he had conquered almost all the major countries of the middle east and asia minor. He had also overthrown the Persian empire by defeating the Persian king Darius the third. He was called one of the greatest military geniuses of all time. Alexander died at the age of 32 years old and before immolating himself alive on the pyre, his last words to Alexander were, “We shall meet in Babylon”. ]]> 2019-09-30 03:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_jason_raffles/w32f9rb790qe/wish/391132596 https://padlet.com/mark_jason_raffles/w32f9rb790qe/wish/391295405 Jack Ma has been on the Forbes top billionaire list from the past few years.
