  • All African American should see this when comming to Atlanta..
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/05/06
    First of all, I was delighted to see that there was no coast to see anything. Everthing now in the United States has a COST.
    To see all the artifacts about Dr. King and all the rough times that he went through durning that time period. And As a person of Color myself, I know that he was doing that all alone.... Just to be in Atlanta where U ...

    By jennie, 08/12/06
    I did my own freedom walk from the city to the memorial. I found it very moving and very serene, the gift shop has some great items on the civil rights movement too. Worth a look if you are there in Atlanta.

  • Can't wait to go back
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/21/06
    My first trip to the center was 6/30/06 with my church youth group. It was AWSOME! I was so moved. We did not get a chance to see everything, so my family and I are planning a family trip in August. I can't wait! I was able to tour the King room, the Rosa Parks room, and the Ghandi Room awsome! I was also able to tour the church. That ...

  • A sense of history
    By Yolanda N, 06/13/06
    Very peaceful beautiful garden
    surrounding Mrs King's Tomb. The
    museum section was very informative
    Nice gift shop attached. Very easy to find Dr King's home and Ebenezer
    Baptist church as all are in walking distance. HOWEVER if you go on a busy day expect parking to be tight

  • A Must See
    By Mr. Marham, 06/02/06
    The MLK Historic Site is definately something that the whole family will enjoy. To recap the history in the African-American Community is important for all people, and the MLK Historic Site shows both the negative and possitive views of history during the time of segregation. So, if you ever decide to visit the City of Atlanta, GA, please take about 3 hours out to view the site in its entirety.

  • Interesting
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/23/06
    I thought the different groups of history was well laid out. There is a lot of reading, however I preferred the pictures and the different articles. A good history lesson for all races.

  • Disappointing
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/06
    I found that this site fell far short of the hype regarding it. It was more interested in presenting a legend than a factual history. Recommend visiting some of the other area historic sites instead.
