    Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community since so many people's lives centered
    Download TOEFL materials around the church. He allowed his church and his home 10 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.

    15 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 20 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 25 that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with
    whites.
