He helped spread freedom and democracy throughout the world, even though he primarily concentrated on the well-being of the United States. Through all of the tough decisions he had to make, and all of the situations he had to overcome, Dr. King stuck to his morals and ethics. Dr. King always stuck with his morals even when times were tough and some of the people that he was fighting for were against him. Martin Luther King Jr. was born January 15, 1929 in Atlanta Georgia. His father, Dr. Martin Luther King Sr. was the head minister at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Martin Jr. recieved a very religous education right from the start. He said once that, while I was growing up, the church was my second home. He had one Brother and one sister. He and he and his brother A.D. spent a lot of time together because they were very close in age. Through school, Martin always did well and he was usually in the top of his class each year. He skipped many grades on his way to high school and he entered Booker T. Washington High school at age 13. He greatly enjoyed History and English but the overall cirriculum did not challenge him. He compiled a B+ average over 4 years with mediocre effort. In the 11th grade, he entered an oratorical contest sponsored by the Negro Elks in a distant Georgia town. Martin jr. spok on The Negro and the Constitution and one a prize for his speech. On the way back to Atlanta, he and his teacher reviewed the exciting events of the day. Presently the bus stopped and some whites got on. There were no seats left so the bus driver ordered Martin and his teacher to get up and stand. King refused to budge. The driver threatened him and called him a blach son-of-a-bitch, until at last he heeded his teachers whispers and he got out of his seat. For the rest of the trip home, he and his teacher were jostled around as the bus traveled down the highway. King later said, It was the angriest I have ever been in my life. After the 11th grade, King left high school and went to Morhouse college which was accepting exceptional high school juniors to fill its depleted ranks because of the world war. He was only 15 when he enrolled. After four tough years of study, King finally graduated in the spring of 1948 at age 19. He elected to then attend the Crozer Seminary in Pennsylvania. After four years at Crozer, he decide to attend the prestigious School of Theology at Boston University. It was here that King would get his PhD., meet his future wife, Corretta Scott, and learn the ways of Ghandi. Boston University proved to be a turning point Kings life. After getting setup by a friend, Corretta and Martin started dating each other. Though it would destroy her promising singing career, she decided to become Martins wife after years of indecision. Martin read all that he could about Ghandid and he was very impressed by Ghandis ways and his success. After recieving his PhD, many churches expressed interest in having Dr. King become their head minister. His firmest offer came from Dexter Avenue Baptist Church of Montgomery Alabama. He found the people there to be very nice and he accepted their offer, despite the fact that it would mean a tough move back into the deep south and the harsh segregation that occured in Montgomery. While preaching in Montgomery Dr. King made many alliances and found many causes that he could support. It was here that Dr. King really started to get involved with social issues and the social alliance that Dr. King made would prove to be very valuable in the future. It was also here that Dr. King achieved national fame for leading the famous bus boycott. Dr. King quickly became a respected national figure. People started to realize that the young Dr. King had something about him, something that made him very special. religiousWhilespokeblackMorehouseGhandireceivingoccurred After the bus boycott of Montgomery, Dr. King went on to help the African-Americans in our nation.

A very clear example of his ethics came in May of 1963. After his the movement for freedom in Birmingham Alabama had been stalled, Dr. King needed ideas to keep the movement going. One of his advisors told him that there were more than a thousand school-age children that wanted, even begged to march. Dr. King was racked in indecision, if he let them march, they could be hurt, or worse, but children marching for freedom could subpoena the conscience of the nation. The cold truth was that African-American children were maimed every day of their lives, emotionally, every day of their lives while the South stayed segregated. Dr. King decided to let the children march. This decision would save the movement in Birmingham. On May 2, 1963 more than 1000 excited youngsters, some only 6 years old took the streets of Birmingham by storm. The incensed sheriff, Bull Connor, a radical segragationalist, retorted by arresting more than 900 of the marching children. School buses were needed to take the children to the jails. The march was a tremendous success and a lot of national exposure came to the movement. The next day, 2,500 youngsters turned out to march for their own freedom.
