“Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.”

— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968) was an American Baptist minister, activist, and one of the most influential voices of the twentieth century. The youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize at the time of his 1964 award, King led the American civil rights movement through a philosophy of nonviolent resistance that drew from the teachings of Gandhi, the Black church tradition, and his own rigorous theological education. Before his public activism, he earned a PhD in systematic theology from Boston University at age 25. King understood education from the inside out — as both a product of it and a critic of its limits — which gave his thinking on its purpose an unusual precision and weight.
