The MLK Center in Atlanta was a beautiful building with plenty of parking. The information I learned while there was very interesting. The birthplace and childhood home was very interesting. A National Park Ranger gave us the tour, and he did a very lovely job. He was courteous and informative. He was able to tell us information that was given... more

Staying in downtown ATL for business. I walked to Underground Atlanta and signed up for the Atlanta Trolley tour, located at the Visitor's center. The Atlanta Trolley tour allows you get off at multiple locations in the downtown and midtown areas of ATL. I got off at the Dr. King National Historic site. Located at the old and new Ebenezer... more

On a recent trip to Atlanta the MKL, Jr. site was on my list of things to see and turned out to be one of the best. I walked along Auburn Avenue from downtown, which is part of the "Freedom Walk" which takes you past several beautiful churches and historic businesses. Finally I came to the historic site, which is... more

Last time I was here Coretta Scott King was still alive. It was comforting to know when we went this time that she now lies peacefully next to her husband. This is a wonderful piece of history and a very peaceful place. I took my 8 year old and 5 year old sons as they have started to learn about... more

The site is located on Auburn Ave & chiefly consists of MLK's birth home, a Visitor Center with interesting exhibitions &... more

A huge complex that now includes the original, famous Ebenezer Church, a visitors center and museum as well as the gravesites of Dr. King and his wife. The Park Service has done a wondeful job maintaining and protecting the whole area. more

It is hard to say that a memorial built to honor a person who was assassinated is “fun” but the MLK memorial and Center are well worth a visit to stop and consider the life of a very special individual. The center’s exhibits not only honor King’s life, they also allow us to reflect on a time in our not... more

We visited the MLK, sweet Auburn historical site. Ebenezer Baptist is undergoing major renovation. The tomb site was very moving and we would not have missed it. The museum was adequate, but considering the greatness of the man I would have expected a larger collection and more than is here. more

This museum is well worth the visit. We arrived late in the afternoon(4pm) and didn't have as much time as we would have liked before the site closed (6pm). Growing up in suburban/rural PA in the 70's, I wasn't exposed to much of the civil rights struggle although my black college roommate shared some of her experiences with me. This... more
