It"s Monday, 21 January at The Wine Cabinet!

Martin Luther King Day

In addition to the small recounting of Dr. King"s life below, we would also like to announce our effort to support those patrons who are currently "on furlough" with the Federal government. Some working, some not.

We would like to extend a 20% discount for up to a full case of wine to each of you in this distressing situation. And, if you feel the need, we would be happy to discuss payment arrangements with you.

We believe the approach Dr. King took to life - unity and service - should be at the heart of how we behave in our communities. We know that you share our thoughts. Thank you again for your loyalty and support over the years. We hope this is a small measure of repayment.

Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family’s long tenure as pastors of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father has served from then until the present, and from 1960 until his death Martin Luther acted as co-pastor. Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded the B.D. in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955. In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family.
At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement..




"I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream."
Martin Luther King


Have a great day!!
