MLK

The first two chapters in this book give an overview of his early work. The main thing that stuck out to me was "He could feel how the church operated at the heat of community life in the South and how, in the region's rapidly growing black urban community".

I feel like this might have been a reason why MLK went into the church, he saw how it was a in to a leadership. I know that has a child you really don't know what you want to do. It was clear that he was unsure as what career path he should take.

He came from a line of Reverend but was usurer if that was his right career path. His father really tried to push this off on him.

It was not until he had the personally experience of seeing segregation that he dove into taking this career path seriously. Just knowing what I know about him I think that he realized from a young age that ministers had the ability to reach a larger number of people.

I think I just get annoyed with MLK because he is so main stream. The school system just focuses on him. They overlook so many different movements’ leaders. Nothing is wrong with him or his practices but I think too much of the spotlight is put on him.
