Yet, today, many people don’t know much about the life of Alfred Daniel “A.D.” King, the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr.
A.D. King’s life, contributions to the civil rights movement and his death 15 months after his brother’s assassination are the focus of a recently released documentary, “Unsolved History: Life of a King.”
“I consider myself well-versed in civil rights, but I didn’t know a lot about him,” said Ri-Karlo Handy, president and CEO of Sunwise Media, which co-produced the King documentary with Positive Promotions . “There are lots of folks who made big contributions to the movement. I felt like we needed comprehensive education. This was not just Martin Luther King Jr. and ‘I Have a Dream’. There were many different pieces and components.”
The documentary, which is narrated by veteran journalist Ed Gordon, will air in Atlanta at 11 p.m. April 5 on WATL-TV (Channel 36) and at 5 p.m. on April 7.
