"I don't have anything to leave."#King twice tried to commit suicide as a boy in grief at the death of is grandmother. He jumped from a window, but was unhurt in both instances#King was a Baptist minister, like his father and grandfather before him, and he served as assistant pastor in his father's church#As in the case of John Kennedy, conspiracy theories abound as to who was behind the murder of Martin Luther King#Dr King delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech from the steps of the Linclon Memorial in Washington. The monument to Abraham Lincoln, the President who freed the slaves, was at this time still off limits to blacks#King lost count of the number of times he was arrested. As late as 1967, three years after the civil rights bill was signed, king was made to serve a 5-day sentence in Birmingham, Alabama, for public order offences committed in 1963#When Dr King won the Nobel Prize for peace the former police chief of Birmingham, Alabama, said: "They are scraping the bottom of the barrel when they pick him. He has caused more strife and trouble in this country than anyone I can think of."
