Does Martin Luther King Jr. have a wife?

Answer 1

Yes, MLK dated a German transfer student, and in fact was in love with her, but broke off the relationship on advice of his pastor because he would not be able to be a credible leader at that point in time with a White wife. MLK prayed for the day that people did not have to choose their partners by color but by individuality. Listen to his speech on people holding hands.

Answer 2

King visited the Compton Ca city hall in the 60's because we had the first black mayor in California. I was a white building inspector and I was excited to meet Dr. King. As he passed my desk I stood and held out my hand to welcome him. He told me to speak only if he addressed me first and waked on. I noticed a pretty young women on his arm acting in a provocative way toward him. She was not his wife! So much for having a good opinion of the man. Dorland Neale

Answer 3

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A former Kentucky state senator says she had a year-long affair with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and was with him at the Lorraine Motel the night before he was assassinated there.

Georgia Powers discussed the relationship in her new autobiography, "I Shared the Dream," and in an interview in today's Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper.

The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, King's lieutenant in the civil-rights movement, created a furor five years ago when he suggested in his memoirs that King cheated on his wife.

Abernathy also wrote of a liaison King had the night before he was killed with "a black woman . . . a member of the Kentucky Legislature," but he did not name her.

"The relationship between Martin Luther King Jr. and I began with mutual admiration," Powers wrote. "Gradually, our attachment grew stronger until it passed beyond camaraderie into intimacy."

An assistant for King's widow, Coretta Scott King, said she was out of the country and unavailable for comment.

In 1967, Powers became the first black person elected to the Kentucky state Senate. Her relationship with King began in March that year, she told the Courier-Journal. They had met three years earlier at a Louisville civil-rights march.

Powers wrote that she and King were careful to keep their relationship secret, and that she faltered only when he was shot April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn.

"When they put Dr. King into the ambulance, I instinctively began climbing in to go with him. Andy Young gently pulled me back. `No, Senator,' he said, `I don't think you want to do that.' "
