[KING, Martin Luther, Jr. (1929-1968)]. Montgomery, Ala. Telephone Directory June 1955. Atlanta(?): Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1955. REVEREND MARTIN LUTHER KING IS LISTED TWICE: once under his last name ?King, M. L. Rev 309 S Jackson? and another under Dexter Ave Baptist Church where King was called to be a minister in 1954. In 1955, a young Dr. King spoke to nearly 5,000 people at the Holt Street Baptist Church in Montgomery on December 5th, just four days after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to relinquish her seat on a Montgomery city bus. King?s role in the bus boycott transformed him into a national figure and the most prolific spokesman of the civil rights movement. A rare and important telephone book published a few months before Dr. King would change the world.
