Trip to Atlanta? Visit the MLK National Park
When visiting Atlanta, don't miss the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, which includes his birth home, the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and the reflecting pool with the crypts of Dr. King and his wife. The area, known as Sweet Auburn, was a significant center of African American economic and cultural prominence during times of segregation.
