Abstract
Early in life, Martin Luther King, Jr., faced three questions: Who am I? Where am I going? How will I get there? Should he become a doctor? A lawyer? A teacher? or a preacher? He thought about all of these things. Eventually, he made the decision to
become a minister like his father. The American public also asked, who is Martin Luther King, Jr? The American press tended to portray him as a political figure, a civil rights worker, even a trouble-maker. Sometimes he was referred to as a man whose actions were “untimely and unwise.” King referred to himself as a drum major for justice.
