In this installment, we focus on the homes where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once dreamed of a brighter future and the man who helped further his vision. Michelle Miller reports.

I was 23 yo when Martin was shot I remember I cried so much😥because he was a a great human being and Peacefull.
So you was born in 1945?
When I was growing up my mom and dad had 9 kids and we always ate together and said grace together but not today
Same here
Thank you for writing this . Growing up until my parent were deceased we also had meals together especially on Sunday
Wow Mr Smith is Rich black man making a difference in the world 👏👏✊ ...!!!!
I took my family here on yesterday. It was amazing to see and experience the way things were back during that time. I could imagine young MLK running around the yard and house with no one knowing what he'd become in just a few short years.
Ms. Farris was like don't try me. 😂
Right!! 😆
You are GREAT
Mr Smith May God Bless your efforts to keep legacy alive for Black people and the world
Best part-When the interviewer asked why did they sit down to dinner every night and the look on Lady Christine's face when she answered her with "why?", "I guess it was a tradition"!! It was just the way families ate Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner , with Sunday being the biggest dinner day, this is a tradition that needs to return Everyone sitting at the dinner table.... That food on the table looks good too...LOL
I caught that too lol
@@quavonhall7050 I guess the Interviewer thought that the Brady Bunch was the only family that sat together at the same table to eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We grew up in public housing and every family sat at the Dinner table every night at 6:00pm.
@@divapie1 Exactly! And she also thought that old woman was not with all her faculties, but that old Black sister was quick, assertive and indignant with the question. And she hit back.
My family and I toured that home in March of 2016. I want to tour it again soon ❤
We toured it in the 1980's. Wow.
I definitely want to take my kids there to your this historic home..
Martin Luther King lived a very frugal life,and his wife and children went without many "creature comforts" , because Martin Luther King believed in "the movement, not the money"...I am very honored to say that now, his children don't have to want for anything. And that is exactly as it should be..God bless Martin Luther Kings children forever, and may they keep on passing his legacy to America.."Keep the Dream Alive".

I was born in August of '74.❤
That’s great that they are doing this so we all can learn about hero’s like him did in this country. Martha Luther King is someone I really look up to
Wish people had this much love on MLK day .
Me too but unfortunately it's not like that now days we black people are getting set up to be robbed or jumped by our own ppl . I wish there was more hero's in the generation instead of people trying to be stars / actors. I'm a millennial so I guess I'm looked at as weird for thinking like this.
@@youngafrica7051 I feel you , to many people out there clout chasing.
2:08 You don't question the damn elders lol
Riiiight!!! Ms Farris-King looked was fin to cus ole girl out LMAO
@@ashleymotorsllc7941You mean Ms. King Farris
ROBERT F. SMITH thank you for preserving the legacy of our people. As a child, I grew up eating daily at the table with my family and listend to the course of the day of my parents and they listened as I told them about my day at school. ❤🙏
Thank you Mr. Smith for preserving African American history in purchasing the MLK Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass’ homes. You have an awesome vision and purpose. God bless you.
At first, I was thinking that the reporter asking Ms. Christine King-Farris, "why?" after Ms. King-Farris shared memories of the family sitting at the dinner table every night together, was a dumb question to ask. However, I realized that the reporter, perhaps, came up in a different era where memories like these are unheard of.
Thank you Robert F Smith.
Yes ..Thank you Mr. Robert F Smith
Wow I miss Martin Luther King. Month of late the King was amazing amazing God bless his family. 🙏🙏🙏
Very beautiful home. Blessed and highly favored. Sealed.
Thank you
God bless the giver. Sealed.
I believe that one day one time in my lifetime... i will surely visit this great home of M.L.K Jr. Ph.D
So amazing, and Bernice and queen latifah favor each other
Right On!!!!
Thank you Mr Smith for restoring this landmark
Taking time with family at the table is important even if you are not hungry. Just sharing moments together means so much. We have different work schedules but we make sure to take care of each other.
Mr. Robert F. Smith wishing you many Blessings in your life for your kindness and generosity...Thanking You 👏🏼🙏👏🏼.
Thank you Mr Smith for stepping up.
I like how Robert Smith came forward with the donation. Michelle Miller come on, back in the day families sat at the table at dinnertime, not watching TV or other things, the man of the house always took charge. I wished some of the so called "Bling", "Bling" celebs, jocks, and other famous people take note, especially the "Happy Meal" generation (those who were born after 1979), we should embrace our history more than ever.
Perfect
God bless u mr smith
Beautiful story
Long love Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, III
Just beautiful I love it
I just love this
Thanks Mr Smith
Great civil rights leader
This definitely inspired me.
Can Mr.Smith be our president?
Wonderful.
Did she really just ask Why ? Wtf
ALBERT EINSTEIN well she couldn’t remember EVERYTHING from the past and what her family does 4 a living becuz she’s turning older
Raell Moreland No, did the reporter woman just ask why!!?????
Wow!
i wish i was in that house
i believe he got C because he was black , i will be willing to bet had he been white he would have got a A plus in speach. he was a well dressed man and spoke very well and clear.
morehouse is a hbcu. at the time King went there, only black students attended bc of segregation.
It depends on who his professor was. I will never denigrate the HBCUs. I also believe he deserved an A in public speaking. I will add that the early history of such schools is that they too practiced discrimination. I will say no more.
Dr. King receiving a C speaks to the standards the professor set for the students.
😢 wow...❤❤
@2:08...Contemporary interviewers ask questions these days that don't seem relative to standard reasoning. One interviewer asked Chris Rock's mother why she said she was affected by the "slap that was heard around the world".
Bernice is awesome
Bernice sold this home is she still awesome??
I hope Leslie Knope gets to manage this location
Robert Smith put his MONEY where his MOUTH is ! a true GREAT MAN!
At least he's doing this starting small. Better than schools my daughter said the teacher wants her to do the facts that's it. Not important info on his life on anyone's life during that time.
Nice
Robert Smith paid off loans for nearly 400 students.
R.i.p mlk😭😭😭👼🌹
Vous les traduire en francaisq
I dont think she should have sold her inheritance. If Mr. Smith dies what will happen to the house,?
Who got the 1.9million? Did the family since that was their home? Does the city? In which case why did they have control of the house? So many questions about the 1.9mill value?
That's the price the devil paid them to sellout
@@kalebblack9588 them who? The family or the city. I feel like it's the family selling out, but then who bought it?
1.9 million for Kings family to sellout. They don't speak for black people, not for Foundational black Americans, we gone take them and the devil they joined down.
@@kalebblack9588 alright. Calm yourself I just asked a question no need to get political and religious up in here
❤❤💙💙💜💜
🙏🏿✊🏿👏🏿👑🕊😭
You guys all ate the table during dinner? Why
Ummm
Yeah that was awkward. 🤭
After watching this whole video it was clear it's still gonna take a long time and be a difficult, nigh incommunicado speech way for everyone to understand the dream MLK J. had because of this video that I didn't watch all the way through because it made him and the dream look bad fairly quickly on. One day we are going to accomplish this dream, and let it be known forevermore that those statistics and numbers are hilariously just that. I guess for some people some guy died a long time ago that did some stuff. Gosh darn this difficult world. It's amazing. Luckily, I got this and will continue ALWAYS. Good luck all chumps who read this. Luckily, it's all way easier for me. Ask thyself, did you have a dream, or do you still? It's a super level up if you're reading this.

This is all a fabulous achievement, Mr. Smith; however, it's really sad that the majority of African Americans will never visit
The opportunity is there. Black people will visit.
Alot of BLK people visited before National Park owned it
"you don't allow grades and people's opinions"...Spelman'74
This may be difficult to understand but even history proves that the "white" girl and "white" women are easier to reach and the "white" man and white men and such. (And to prevent also of course) it's a big obvious thing
Surprised he made C’s how insulting people
I appreciate this commentary,
donations and the presences
of everyone at the table . .
but when asked about
his mission, why didn't he
mention OUR Ancestry
💚🖤💛❤️
the national Park service took over Martin Luther King jr. Childhood home years ago was because the real King family couldn't take care of it, are they were letting her go downhill some like that that was years ago... Let's just say they weren't doing a good job...
🤛🤜🤲🤜🤛
What about Malcolm X's burnt down home 😥
Isn't it the place where the Lord Christ was born, that the people wanted to visit to see? Then who is King that the people seek the same? Is he not the Lord Christ who came into the world as a savior to his people? And is it not the Lord Christ who we laid to rest in a tomb in a place that was preserved for him to be laid at where no other man had ever been laid before and placed a stone covering at the face of his tomb? And suffered not to put his body into the ground! Surely, he is the Lord who was among us in the flesh. We even witnessed him when he gave his famous sermon on the mountain according to the scriptures when he stood upon capital hills in Washington DC.! Calling the famous sermon "I Have A Dream! And he is the Lord Christ who the God of heaven Jesus has commanded that we set aside a day of each year to honor the name of our Lord for the works that he did on our behalf. And that we are to gather together with our children and grandchildren in remembrance of him. And this is why you have set up in MLK'S name a National Holiday because it is the name of the Lord Christ. And we do gather together with our children and grandchildren each year in remembrance of him. And he is the Lord Christ in which the God of heaven Jesus commanded that we were to bear the name of the Lord Christ upon a pole in every city and town no matter how large or small they may be. And this is why you have MLK'S name beared upon a street sign pole in every city and town in America no matter how large or small they may be. I don't care if it's a Street, Boulevard, Highway, Road, Avenue, or an Alleyway it is the name of MLK beared on the pole sign. "WHY" because it is the name of the Lord Christ, our savior, that the Lord God Jesus gave to us.
