Welcome to the Martin Luther King Historical Park!
And don’t forget the King Center!
Born in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and work are central to the city’s identity, making these places significant for every Atlantan.
The park, encompassing Dr. King’s birth home, the Ebenezer Baptist Church where he and his father pastored, and his final resting place, offers a profound, tangible connection to the life and legacy of this iconic leader.
The King Center, established by Coretta Scott King, continues to propagate Dr. King’s vision of nonviolent social change.
For Atlantans, these sites are more than mere tourist spots; they are a testament to the city’s indomitable spirit, its integral role in American civil rights history, and a source of pride and inspiration.
Learning from the past.
The Martin Luther King Historical Park and the King Center have a profound impact on Atlanta culture, serving as constant reminders of the struggles and triumphs of the civil rights movement.
They represent the embodiment of Dr. King’s values—equality, justice, and nonviolent change—values that continue to mold Atlanta’s social and political landscape.
Learning from the past is vital to avoid repeating its mistakes.
