A friend of mine, worked with Marten Luther King as a PR person. He still has a picture with King, some other people and himself with a band recorder, while on some demonstration.

Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.) was born January 15th, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia to Baptist minister Martin Luther King (born Michael King) and his wife, Alberta. He was one of the most prominent leaders in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968, preaching Christian values and social equality for all races.
King advanced civil rights for people of color in the United States through nonviolence and civil disobedience. With inspiration from both his own Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Gandhi, he was able to lead targeted, and most importantly nonviolent, resistance against Jim Crow laws and other forms of discrimination in the United States.
He is most famously known for being one of the leaders of the The March on Washington in 1963, where he delivered his famous Martin Luther King Jr. Last Speech "I Have a Dream" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in DC.
See Passage from the "I Have a Dream Speech" for part of the speech.
Coretta Scott (Scott) King of Atlanta, Fulton County, GA was born on April 28, 1927 in Heiberger, Perry County, Alabama United States, and died at age 78 years old on January 30, 2006 in Rosarito, Rosarito Beach Municipality County, Baja California Mexico. Coretta King was buried on February 7, 2006 in Lithonia, DeKalb County, Georgia United States.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
