Documentary Showcases Work of MLK's Brother

Della Spearman
The accomplishments of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s younger brother, A.D. King may have been overshadowed by his famous brother. But the time for his story has come. A.D.'s life story and commitment to community service is the subject of the documentary film "A.D. King: Brother to the Dreamer."

The film reflects on the contributions of A.D. to the civil rights movement. A Baptist minister, A.D. is credited with being a leader of the Poor People's Campaign, and co-founding the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. According to the film he helped build churches in Atlanta including Ebenezer Baptist Church and other parts of the South.

The world premier of the film was hosted earlier this month at Morehouse's International Chapel.
