The library is located at the northeast end of Los Angeles City College near the corner of Willowbrook and Vermont Avenues.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Library opened June 23, 2008.
In 1962, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "Future of Integration" speech at the Los Angeles City College (LACC) Campus. The new library, which was opened in 2008 was named after Dr. King to honor his legacy.
“We name this library after, perhaps, a man that gave this country more faith than anybody. A minister by training, quite literally a man of faith, but also one who taught us to believe, not just in God, but to believe in America and her promise," said L.A. City Council President, Eric Garcetti.
