Martin Luther King III, or MLK3 is an American human rights advocate and community activist. He is the oldest son and oldest living child of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
Martin Luther King III was born on October 23, 1957, to civil rights advocates Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King. His mother had reservations about naming him after his famous father, realizing the burdens it can create for the child, but King, Jr. always wanted to name his son Martin Luther III. Kings birth occurred as his father was speaking to members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and he announced his sons name after being told of the birth. Kings birth caused much of his mothers time to be taken away from her artistry and she spent the remainder of his birth year caring for him and his older sister Yolanda.
