“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.’(Martin Luther King Jr.). King was booked in Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel ( owned by Walter Bailey) in Memphis. Abernathy, who was present at the assassination, testified to the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations that King and his entourage stayed at room 306 so often that it was known as “the King-Abernathy suite.” . But they are unanimous on one key point: James Earl Ray did not kill Martin Luther King. King’s other two children fully agreed that Ray was innocent. And their view of the case is shared by other respected black leaders.

Martin Luther King Jr. was confident in his abilities to lead the African American community to one day be treated equal. In 1948, King earned a sociology degree from Morehouse College and attended the Liberal Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. He thrived in all his studies and was valedictorian of his class of 1951. He later enrolled in the graduate program at Boston University, completing his coursework in 1953 and earning a doctorate in systematic theology two years later (“Martin Luther King Jr”1). He was powerful, and he used his powers to influence the believers. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. claimed that “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase” (“Martin Luther King Jr”1). He also used his charismatic leadership styles by engaging personalities, and unwavering commitment to positive change in the lives of million of people (“Martin Luther King Jr”1). Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated numerous leadership qualities during his fight for equal rights and over the course of history.
In 1960, King and his family moved to Atlanta, his native city, where he joined his father as co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. This new position did not stop King and his SCLC colleagues from becoming key players in many of the most significant civil rights battles of the 1960s (“Martin Luther King Jr”1). He was also intelligent in the fact that he was able to lead African Americans in a nonviolent way to the advancement of civil rights. He was powerful, and he used his power to influence the believers. “Intelligence plus character that is goal of true education.” Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. emphasized, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot hate; only love can do that” (“Martin Luther King Jr”1). King appealed to Christian and American ideals and won growing support from the federal government and Northern whites. In 1963, Bayard Rustin and A. Philip Randolph led the massive March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom; the event’s grand finale was King’s famous “I Have a Dream” address. The speech and march cemented King’s reputation at home and abroad; later that year he was named “Man of the Year” by Time magazine and in 1964, he became the youngest person ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (“Martin Luther King Jr”1).
In the spring of 1965, King’s elevated profile drew international attention to the violence that erupted between white segregationists and peaceful demonstrators in Selma, Alabama, where the SCLC and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) had organized a voter registration campaign (“Martin Luther King Jr”1).
