Martin Luther King Jr.'s Grave

I am, perhaps, a typical white man, who was oblivious to the race struggle of the mid 1960’s as I was young and not very wise.

It’s never too late to become more worldly, and to appreciate the struggle and the life work of Reverend King.

I went about twenty some years ago, and it was awesome; I got to go to the Center; got to see the grave and his birthplace right down on Auburn Avenue, and it was quite humbling to say the least. I want my children to see it too and plan to bring them one day.

Wow! Martin Luther King Jr. and Ben Carson are like my two male non-celeberity favorite people lolz. I really enjoyed going to the memorial place and will never forget it. If you go to his church I warning you (it is the SAME church he went to so it is kind of old). I believe the church now has a new location although the old site is still intact and getting visitors.

in the bathroom. Not used to get shocked at museums like that time, though.

You wouldnt help but respect the man and his legacy and what he stood for. I went to have a feel for what it meant to be MLK in the 60s. I was challenged ‘cos here was a man who died for what he believed.

When you visit the Center sure to take “the walk” with the wax figures, and look outside the window. It’s a view most people overlook.

Go and see the grave but also go to the visitor centre next to it to understand what this man who had a dream achieved and how he achieved it: the exceptional life of an exceptional person.

It was beautiful and touching to see where such a profound peacemaker was laid to rest. He was an extraordinary man and his legacy will live on to infinity!

yes, a must!
