Martin Luther King, Jr.
Education Center Academy
The Martin Luther, Jr. Education Center is the dream of Rev. Havious Green, founder and pastor of Antioch Church of God in Christ. Rev.
Green, envisioned greater service to the community by providing quality education and care for young children. Already having offered
free academic tutoring since Antioch’s inception in 1965, Rev. Green and his sister, Mrs. Naomi Keener, who was MLK’s first director, began
attending workshops to gather information pertinent to group child care. Space was limited at the church’s location at West Six Mile and
Indiana. A year later, in 1971, a larger facility on Appoline and Grove was purchased. Read Our History
