Little Martin grew up in a family of preachers: his dad was a preacher, his uncle was a preacher, his grandfather was a preacher…so maybe he’d become a great preacher too. One day, a friend invited him to play at his house. Martin was shocked when his mother wouldn’t let him in because he was black. That day he realized there was something terribly unfair going on. Martin believed that no one should remain silent and accept something if it's wrong. And he promised himself that—when he grew up—he’d fight injustice with the most powerful weapon of all: words.

Martin Luther King a ete eleve dans une famille de pasteurs. Un jour, un ami l'a invite a jouer chez lui, mais la mere du garcon a refuse de laisser entrer Martin a cause de la couleur de sa peau. Il a alors compris que quelque chose ne tournait pas rond. Il s'est promis que, lorsqu'il serait grand, il combattrait les injustices, et qu'il le ferait avec la plus redoutable des armes : les mots. Aujourd'hui, son nom est associe a la naissance du grand mouvement de lutte contre la segregation raciale aux Etats-Unis.
