Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., graduated from Morehouse College (B.A., 1948), Crozer Theological Seminary (B.D., 1951), and Boston University (Ph.D., 1955). The son of the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, King was ordained in 1947 and became (1954) minister of a Baptist church in Montgomery, Ala.

King organized the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which gave him a base to pursue further civil-rights activities, first in the South and later nationwide. His philosophy of nonviolent resistance led to his arrest on numerous occasions in the 1950s and 60s. His campaigns had mixed success, but the protest he led in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963 brought him worldwide attention. He spearheaded the Aug., 1963, March on Washington, which brought together more than 200,000 people. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

His interests, however, widened from civil rights to include criticism of the Vietnam War and a deeper concern over poverty. His plans for a Poor People's March to Washington were interrupted (1968) for a trip to Memphis, Tenn., in support of striking sanitation workers. On Apr. 4, 1968, he was shot and killed as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel (since 1991 a civil-rights museum).

What do you think of these names R-Z?

I graduated This Year and in the yearbook the put the 1st and middle names of all the students. I thought some of the names were pretty and some interesting and some not so much. I thought I would share the names with you all to see what you thought! Keep in mind the name which were popular in 1992, when these students were born. SO comment the names, and feel free to say whatever you would like!

Hey Erin!

Geez at the Lynns! haha. I'm not too crazy about most of them. I'm about your age, so I too know many people with those names, which makes them kinda dull. The only ones I sorta like are Rachel Elaine and Sara Kathleen.
