A national treasure in the heart of Atlanta.The tour through Dr Kings Atlanta home of birth was magnificent.The ranger told the story of Dr. King with such passion and insight.The Ranger Blessed me and my family with his words of wisdon and knowledge of the life of Dr. King.This is a must see if you want to seet he heart of Atlanta.

On Auburn Ave just after going under the underpass on I-75/85, there was graffiti on the walls and some closed stores. I had to go up Hillard St. and Irwin St. for safety purposes. Don't take any pictures ...
I just enjoyed reviewing the history of such influential African American men and women as well as Ghandi. Awesome place to take young people of all races to learn of how the things we come to enjoy became reality.
