Growing up


In 1942 Martin Luther King attended Booker T. Washington High School, when 13 years old Martin exhibited the usual anxieties and “rebelliousness of adolescence”. For him he had lots of intensity, first it was the injustice of racism, that provoked anger, second his relationship with his father was growing to be very difficult.
When he was just 15 years old, Martin entered the all-black Morehouse College, three years earlier than the normal age. At first, he struggled academically at the college this was because of his age, and because the education he got in his previous schools was poor. Even though he wasn’t as good academically his teachers saw
Him as a sharp thinker and an excellent speaker.
