Done. I put it in ABC because my post was centered on an Evergreen Regional event, but certainly our convention has no lock on Dr. King. Indeed, he is in the Episcopal Church's book of saints, and there are MLK hymns in their hymnals.
I was interested to learn the other day, and bemused to think that I'd never learned it previously (or it hadn't stuck) that MLK was born Michael King, and that his dad changed both their names from Michael to Martin Luther when Jr. was five or six years old, following a visit to Nazi Germany for the BWA convention.
