Martin Luther King III to be UVA Center for Politics

Martin Luther King III will join the University of Virginia Center for Politics as a professor of practice starting now through the fall semester. The oldest son of the legendary civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is the second professor of practice in the Center for Politics. The first was former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, who began in March 2023.

According to UVA, King’s appointment coincides with the anniversary of the March 25, 1963, address his father, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., gave at UVA.

“I am delighted to join the Center for Politics as a professor of practice at the University of Virginia, and to do so during the anniversary month when my father addressed UVA 61 years ago makes this appointment all the more meaningful,” King said.
