MLK married Coretta Scott King, who was an artist and activist in her own right, and they had four children together. Even though he was constantly travelling and organising protests, he tried to be present as a father. His kids later described him as playful, thoughtful, and someone who read bedtime stories when he could. Coretta helped shape his message and carried on his work after his death. Their home life was not glamorous — it was full of stress, threats, and attention from the media. But they stayed close as a family. That stability helped MLK keep going when things got tough.
