January

1929
in Atlanta, Georgia. He had a brother and a sister, and live in a large house with his parents and grandmother. His father, who was the grandson of the slave, worked in a bank and was important person in the black community of Atlanta. Martin had a happy and comfortable life at home with his family but as soon as he left his house, he have problems because of his colour. At that time in some parts of the USA black people was not allowed to use white people's toilets, and must give up their seat on the bus if a white person wanted to sit down. Martin couldn't used the same libraries or parks as white boys, and he was not allowed to go to the same school. One day Martin made friends with two white brothers, but when their mother founded out he was black, she forbade them to play with him. This hurt Martin very much, and he promised himself he will fight for the rights of black people when he got older. |
