Martin Luther King Jr. had two siblings. He had an older sister named Christine King Farris and a younger brother named Alfred Daniel Williams King. Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, the King family was close-knit and deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
Christine, as the eldest, often took on a caretaking role in the family, while Alfred, known as A.D., played an active part in the church and followed in his brother’s footsteps in advocating for civil rights. The love and support among the siblings contributed significantly to King’s development and his later work in promoting equality and justice.
