I visited the Martin Luther King National Historic Site and toured his birthplace & boyhood home. It’s located in Sweet Auburn and the neighborhood has been restored to look like it did in the 1920’s, with Victorian homes across the street from rows of shotgun houses. It was wonderful to wander the neighborhood and see the homes. I also saw the King tomb and Eternal Flame across from it, the historic firehouse, and the restored Ebenezer Baptist Church. The sanctuary has been restored to its 1960’s look and I stood there listening to a recording of Dr. King preaching there and was very touched. It was a wonderful experience.
Very cool!
