It's black history month. This is probably the only time during the year when we learn a little bit about the African American culture. Then again its everything corporate America wants us to know. The books give us a watered down version. I decided I will post and continue to post at least on random or unknown fact about Black History... I started off with Dr. Martin Luther King he is one of the most recognized faces.
King was born in Atlanta, Georgia. His father was pastor of a Baptist church, his mother a schoolteacher. Originally named Michael, he was renamed Martin when he was about six years old.
He entered Morehouse College in 1944, and here he met Dr Benjamin Mays, a scholar who encouraged him to enter the ministry. After graduating in 1948, King went to Crozer Religious Seminary to undertake post-graduate study. He received his doctorate in 1955.
