Martin Luther King's real name was actually Michael. He was the son of a Black preacher known at the time only as "Daddy King." In 1935, "Daddy King" was inspired to name himself after the Protestant reformer Martin Luther. He announced to his congregation that in future they were to refer to him as "Martin Luther King" and to his son as "Martin Luther King, Jr." Michael Kingremained Martin Luther King's real name right up to the time he died, as the name change was never made legal.
