◆TRANSCRIPT

When he was born, Martin Luther King Jr. was named what?

Martin King, Michael King, Luther King, or Michael Williams?

On January 15, 1929, Michael King Jr. was born to Michael King Sr. and Alberta Williams King.

AZUZ: Michael King Sr. later changed his name to Martin Luther King after the German religious leader Martin Luther. And Michael King Jr., who became the renowned U.S. civil rights leader whose holiday is celebrated every January, eventually changed his name as well.

Yesterday, on what would have been the 89th birthday of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., hundreds of thousands marched in his honor in San Antonio Texas. Parades were held across the country, speeches paid tribute to Dr. King`s legacy and volunteer events offered Americans the chance to answer the call for a day of service.

The Martin Luther King holiday is the only federal holiday described as a day on, not a day off. It`s in the spirit of famous quote by Dr. King in which he said life`s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?
