Martin Luther King III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Luther King III (born October 23, 1957, Montgomery, Alabama) is the first son of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. His siblings are Yolanda Denise King, Dexter Scott King, and Rev. Bernice Albertine King

King attended Morehouse College, the same school his father attended. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. King served as an elected commissioner of Fulton County, Georgia, from 1987 to 1993.

In 1997, King was unanimously elected to head the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), a civil rights organization founded by his father. At the helm, King's relationship with some board members deteriorated. Chairman Claud Young briefly suspended King in 2001, citing absence from the office and erratic communication. King left the SCLC in January 2004 to take over the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change from his brother, Dexter Scott King.

Martin Luther King III is now heading an organization he founded in 2006 called "Realizing the Dream".
