Martin had many trials and hardships in his life.  Along with all his trials he had many accomplishments .  He could read before he went to school, and was a very smart boy for his age.  He skipped the 9th grade because he was so ahead of all the other students.  He also skipped the 12 grade because if his intelligence and his skills of taking tests which he passes a college test which passed him to  college at only age 15!

Martin attended Atlanta public schools and after he went there he attended Booker T.. Washington high school where he was the quarterback on the football team and the captain. Along with class president and many other achievements.

Martin luther was involved in many riots and boycotts.  In 1955 a woman by the name of Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person on the bus and she was arrested a few days later martin helped bail her out and her court decision she was not charged.  For the next year all african americans boycotted bus systems for transportation and they would walk or ride bikes and car pull to get to work or where ever they needed to go.  On December 21 1956 the bus boycott came to a end and they passed the law where whites and blacks will be un segregated and be able to ride the bus freely.

Martin luther was threatened many times and bombs and rocks were thrown through his windows at his house and many phone were made and threats were iminante and some were followed up by explosions or threats to hurt him or his family.  Martin was stabbed in the chest at a book singing by a mentally ill woman.  Luckily he was stabbed  in between his heart and lungs so not vital organs were hit and he recovered very fast and took a trip to india to learn more about Ghandi ways of peace and righteousness.
