He grew up in the church and, with humor, surmised that he "didn't have much choice."

2. What did King note about the Great Depression?

King noted that he was born on the brink of the Depression and recalled little of its start. He did remember that, at about age five, he questioned his parents about the breadlines. He believed his subsequent anti-capitalistic views were the result of that childhood experience.

3. What city did King consider to be his home?

King considered Atlanta, Georgia, his home. He was born there on Auburn Avenue. His family's church, Ebenezer Baptist, was on that street where he grew up and later became co-pastor. His Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) office was on that same avenue.
