His influence over the king on this matter could then be shown to have an effect where in the early 1530’s Henry went on to charge all the Clergy with preamunire, and threatened a few with death.

When he went home and told his parents, his father told him something that he would never forget, “Don’t let it make you feel you are not as good as white people. You are as good as anyone else, and you don’t ever forget it.” At age 15, Martin was accepted into Morehouse University and enrolled in college.
