Where Martin Luther King Jr Grew up. Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta in 1929 in the Sweet Auburn community, the thriving African-American hub of Atlanta. He grew up in a multi-generational family at 501 Auburn Avenue. During his twelve years here, young Martin was nurtured by his family, church, and neighborhood. His was a typical childhood in many ways: days were filled with school and church activities, family gatherings, and trips down Auburn Avenue to shop, go to the library, or buy a soda at the drug store.

Winner Noble Peace prize Acceptance Speech “I accept the Nobel Prize for Peace at a moment when twenty-two million Negroes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice. I accept this award in behalf of a civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice.”

I have a Dream Speech I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave- owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
