I. Early Years and Awakening
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15, 1929, into a world deeply divided by race. My father was a minister at Ebenezer Baptist Church, and my mother a loving, gentle soul who instilled in me a sense of self-worth despite the segregation that surrounded us. Growing up in the Jim Crow South, I witnessed firsthand the injustices of racial discrimination. As a child, I struggled to understand why I couldn't play with my white friend anymore, why we had to sit at the back of the bus, or why we couldn't eat at certain restaurants. These experiences planted the seeds of my future activism. I remember vividly the day my white playmate told me we couldn't be friends anymore because his father said so. It was then that I began to question the system of segregation. My parents tried to shield us from the harshest realities of racism, but they also taught us to stand up for our rights. My father, in particular, was a strong influence. I saw him stand up to a police officer who called him "boy," insisting on being addressed as "Mr. King." His courage in the face of injustice left an indelible mark on me.
