"The Story Of How Michael King Jr. Became Martin Luther King Jr."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/01/15/story-how-michael-king-jr-became-martin-luther-king-jr/?utm_term=.fa46c7e2ff2fMartin Luther King Jr. was born 90 years ago, on Jan. 15, 1929.
But the name on his original birth certificate filed April 12, 1934, five years after King was born was not Martin.
Nor was it Luther.
In fact, for the first years of his life, he was Michael King.
And it wasnt until he was 28 that, on July 23, 1957, his birth certificate was revised.The name Michael was crossed out, next to which someone printed carefully in black ink: Martin Luther, Jr.
MICHAEL KING
My girlfriend used to live in Los Angelus during MLK time and her friend was Martin Luther Kings go to when in town.
Just saying.
And it is TRUE.
