Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches,
among them is his moving “I Have A Dream'' speech. But fewer people know much about King’s childhood.
M.L., as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.’s
grandfather, the Reverend
A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L. was born. The
Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community since so many people’s
lives centered round the church. He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a
number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in this
atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it.

 M.L.’s childhood was not especially eventful. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He
was the second of three children, and he attended all- black schools in a black neighborhood. The
neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous
neighborhood that had come to symbolize achievement for Atlanta’s black people. It was an area of banks,
insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other black-owner black-operated
businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot
the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a seemingly
insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.
Adapted from “https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Luther-King-Jr”)

For hundreds of years, giving flowers has been a social means of communication. In the United States,
flowers are often given during rites of passage, for commemorating special occasions or as a heartfelt gift
between loved ones and friends. Flower gifting also occurs in most countries around the world. However, the
meanings and traditions often vary.
While students traditionally gave their favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are given
flowers. Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China. They are also quite popularly used for
weddings. Strangely, potted plants are not considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures. The people
believe that like a plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction.
In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an unwrapped
bouquet. Floral arrangements or baskets are not given. Russians celebrate a holiday known as Woman’s Day.
Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips. When there is a funeral or other occasion where
someone wishes to express sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in circular configurations, which
signify the transition of birth, life and death to rebirth. In this instance, the color of choice is commonly
yellow. For joyous occasions, arrangements and bouquets generally contain an odd number of flowers.
In the times of ancient Rome, brides carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility. The
Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul. When invited to someone’s home in Great Britain, it is
tradition to bring a gift of flowers. All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are usually seen at
funerals. Not unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love. Flowers are generally gifted in odd
numbered increments regardless of the occasion. However, the Brits also have superstitions regarding the
number 13, so the number is avoided.
In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are
much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers may have
significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States are an accepted gift for any
reason desired.
