Martin Luther King III was born on Oct. 23, 1957, in Montgomery, Ala. He was the only one of the King’s four siblings elected to public office. He was elected and has served on the Fulton County, Ga., Commission.er. His mother, Mrs. Coretta Scott King said Martin had deeply planted movement values. And he continues to demonstrate those values. In 1997, he was unanimously elected the fourth president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) the civil rights organization his father co-founded in 1957. AS president, Martin II helped establish new SCLC chapters, led protests to change the design of the Georgia state flag, which featured a large Confederate image. He has also held hearings and focused national attention on police brutality. In 2003, Martin III co-sponsored the 40th anniversary of the historic March on Washington with human rights organizations from across the country. Keeping his father’s dream alive is not a mere slogan with him. He conceptualizes it and in ways large and small continues to reshape and repackage its tenets of peace, justice and fairness for the next generation. He is married to Andrea Waters and the couple have an 11-year old daughter Yolanda Renee King.

-Authentic Autograph by the Author
Bishop Alfred A. Owens, Jr: has risen from a storefront preacher to a world stage of evangelism. He struggles through life without the love of a father; yet he has become a spiritual father to thousands.
With the same exuberance in which he once preached to seven people, his messages of hope now reach millions. While other churches flee the ghetto for Doing Good in the Hood the affluent suburbs, he proudly affirms his congregation “as the church in the hood that will do you good.”
He extols his congregants in a mission to “rise up and build.” As he continues to plant churches worldwide, he still walks humbly, loves deeply and has surrendered all to the Gospel. Bishop Alfred Owens has combined spiritual fervor and seminary training to build one of the nation’s most effective Pentecostal institutions.
