22: The Dream Maker

Martin Luther King Sr. and the 1933 Germany Trip

Martin Luther King Sr., originally Michael King, changed his and his son's names after a 1933 trip to Germany. Inspired by the theologian Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, the elder King returned to Atlanta to lead the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the local NAACP. The hosts question the nature of a Black minister's visit to Nazi Germany during that specific political era.
