Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birth Card: The Queen of Diamonds
The Prosperous Nurturer
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Nobel Prize.
In the record
Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American civil rights activist and Baptist minister who was a prominent leader of the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. The birth-card coordinate for January 15 is the Queen of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1964 Peace prize.

1964 — The Nobel Peace Prize
“for his non-violent struggle for civil rights for the Afro-American population”
No one else in this set holds the 1964 Peace prize; Martin Luther King Jr. appears here as its sole listed laureate. The award was divided; this laureate's listed portion is 1.
103 other Peace laureates in this set carry a birth-card coordinate.
The Queen of Diamonds coordinate
Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday maps to the Queen of Diamonds (The Prosperous Nurturer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Martin Luther King Jr.. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You protect what you have without making every dollar a referendum on safety.
Martin Luther King Jr. in the public record
He advanced civil rights for people of color in the United States through the use of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience against Jim Crow laws and other forms of legalized discrimination, which most commonly affected African Americans. A Black church leader, King participated in and led marches for the right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other civil rights. He oversaw the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and was the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), leading the unsuccessful Albany Movement in Albany, Georgia, and helping organize nonviolent 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama. King was one of the leaders of the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, and helped organize two of the three Selma to Montgomery marches during the 1965 Selma voting rights movement. There were dramatic standoffs with segregationist authorities, who often responded violently. The civil rights movement achieved pivotal legislative gains in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. King was jailed several times.

Where the record meets the Jack of Spades
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Martin Luther King Jr., and not a forecast of a Nobel Prize.
