The doc, the rev, the rebel.

We often refer to him as "MLK," as if his real name and title are a mystery or, like Voldemort, must not be named. We use a shorter version of "the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." because frankly, that's a mouthful. His titles and suffix, however, represent the evolutions of his life that brought him to the front lines of the Civil Rights Movemement. He wasn't Sir Martin Luther King or Martin King, MBA. He preached to the people, earned a doctorate, and lived life with his father's name. A story lies within his name, and we're going to explore it in an expository series that will unfold between now and the MLK Day of Service on January 17, 2011.

If you have any tid bits about the life and times of the Reverand or would like to contribute, don't hesitate to send me a cyber letter.

Dr. and Mrs. (Coretta Scott) King eventually had four children.
