Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He attended Morehouse College and later Crozer Theological Seminary and University of Pennsylvania. He met his wife Coretta Scott in Boston and they married in 1953, having four children together. King became a pastor in Montgomery, Alabama in 1954. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 after Rosa Parks was arrested, which lasted over a year and ended segregation on public buses. King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington in 1963, calling for racial equality and justice. He was assassinated in 1968 while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.
