Martin Luther King Jr. Collection at Morehouse College
The Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection represents much of Morehouse alumnus Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and work, spanning from 1944 to 1968.
Pillars of the
Martin Luther King Jr. Collection
We established the Office of the Morehouse College King Collection to oversee the conservation and preservation of the collection, to promote teaching, research, and scholarship, and to develop campus-based programming and community outreach initiatives that highlight the teachings and philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. is a distinguished alumnus of Morehouse College and profoundly embodies the institution's commitment to producing leaders dedicated to service and social justice. King was mentored by influential figures such as Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the college's sixth president, and a pivotal civil rights advocate.
Our welcoming environment cultivated Martin Luther King Jr.'s intellectual and moral development, laying the groundwork for his transformative role in the American civil rights movement. His legacy continues to inspire Morehouse students to pursue excellence and advocate for equality, reflecting the college's mission to develop men with disciplined minds who will lead lives of leadership and service.
Everything you will find below in the Martin Luther King Jr. Collection details his life and work that we proudly cherish here at Morehouse College.
