Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site

This National Historical Park in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn district preserves the world of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., where he was born, raised, preached, and is now buried. It's a deeply moving, free pilgrimage through the civil-rights story: you can see King's birth home (timed tours), the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church where he and his father preached, the King Center with the tombs of Martin and Coretta Scott King beside a reflecting pool and eternal flame, and an excellent National Park Service visitor centre with exhibits on the movement.

It's both a tribute and an education, told with dignity and power, and essential for understanding the American civil-rights struggle. Allow a couple of hours, start at the visitor centre, and reserve birth-home tour tickets early as they're limited and free.

历史背景

The site centres on the neighbourhood where Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929 and grew up. Following his assassination in 1968, the area was preserved; it became a National Historic Site (now National Historical Park) administered by the National Park Service, encompassing his birth home, church, and memorial.
