| - In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.
- "I once debated with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. about whether an African American would ever be elected president. He believed it would happen within the next 40 years at the time -- I believed it would never happen within my lifetime. I have never been happier to have been proven wrong." --Dr. Maya Angelou
- Martin Luther King Jr. is seen most prominently in episode 8 where he participates in a conflict mediation exercise with Moses as they pass an egg from one person to another using spoons. He talks and sounds very much like a black preacher. He is one of the shorter students in the class even though the real MLK Jr was average height.
- Martin Luther King, Jr. was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a well-known advocate of civil rights. His car stalled on the way to Washington D.C., to make his important "I Have A Dream" speech. Luckily, Uncle Charles comes to his aid by helping fix his car. Aunt T then also helps him by giving him a spare set of clean clothes. Aunt T greatly admires him and when she realizes it is Dr. Martin Luther King that she is meeting for the first time, she faints. Upon waking up she immediately takes his picture, much to his surprise.
- Now recognized as a martyr by two Christian churches and most American calendars, Dr. King, a Baptist minister, became a civil rights activist and an outspoken advocate of nonviolence early in his career when he led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. He then wrote books, co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957 (serving as its first president), and helped inspire Nashville's students into a wave of activism in the early 1960s. King's prominence and SCLC's success in Birmingham soon led to the August 28, 1963 March on Washington, where Dr. King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.

- Martin Luther King, Jr. is a civil rights activist who is currently on hiatus following an assassination attempt in 1968. Stephen believes Mr. Jr. is white, but as he doesn't see color, he may be mistaken. His great strides forward in civil liberties in later life are seen by historians as a counterbalance to his unfortunate contributions to the development of Lutheranism by being founder Martin Luther King's son.
- Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was a male Human who was a leader in the American civil rights movement of the 20th century, and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

King, Jr. was presumably named in his honor. (ST video game: Armada II)
