Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. (December 19, 1899–November 11, 1984) was a Baptist minister, an early civil rights leader and an advocate for social justice. He was also the father of American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born in 1929. The elder King led the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and his personal example helped inspire Martin Luther King Jr. to enter the ministry. King Sr. was also a significant leader of the civil rights movement, becoming the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter in Atlanta and of the Civic and Political League, and encouraging his son to become active in the movement. After King Jr.'s death, his father continued to be active in public life, and played a role in Jimmy Carter's presidential victory in 1976.

William Edward Burghardt DuBois, to his admirers, was by spirited devotion and scholarly dedication, an attacker of injustice and a defender of freedom.\n\nA harbinger of Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism, he died in self-imposed exile in his home away from home with his ancestors of a glorious past—Africa.\n\nLabeled as a "radical," he was ignored by those who hoped that his massive contributions would be buried along side of him. But, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, "history cannot ignore W.E.B. DuBois because history has to reflect truth and Dr. DuBois was a tireless explorer and a gifted discoverer of social truths. His singular greatness lay in his quest for truth about his own people. There were very few scholars who concerned themselves with honest study of the black man and he sought to fill this immense void. The degree to which he succeeded disclosed the great dimensions of the man."

Tadeusz Kosciuszko---He was a son of liberty and a great soldier.  He helped the Americans in the Revolution and he led the (ultimately unsuccessful) fight to free Poland from imperialist neighboring states in Europe.

His small army (which included my ancestor) defeated a much larger force in the Battle of San Jacinto.\nMy father---he loved his family more than anything else in the world and sacrificed so much for us.
