One of the BEST Historic Museum in the Country

by Guygant

I would recommend this Museum to any Nationality and Culture. It was very exciting for my 2 young boys, and very informative regarding the African American History. Everyone needs to visit.

• Pros: Very Informative on the Civil Rights Movement

Well Educated

by ilovemywife

After 25 years of MLK days you would think, "My goodness what else is there to know". I was still blown away by the movie that was shown and the Facility was well kept. I liked the fact that you could go over to the church and also outside to take pictures with the statue. I got a really good feeling being ther. My wife and I will go back, with my niece and nephew.

• Pros: Very informative and a plethora of information

Great Experience

by vachick

I visited the MLK Center, Ebenezer Church, and Martin Luther Jr. Home. It was an experience will never be forgotten. It gave me a sense of pride and worth. I recommend this center to anyone with curiosity and passion for a foundation and history. The only thing that was an inconvenience to me was the distance and parking. It is a nice place to be once inside, but you have to walk between center, church, and home with others on a busy street with children. This was a hassle. Other than that the experience was one that will last.

• Pros: good cultural place
• Cons: parking and distance

He Had A Dream!

by jaymaygm

And the dream is still alive and working. Growing up in the sixties, in Atlanta, the King family was legendary. My grandmother owned a small furniture store, in the Sweet Auburn area, and the King family were regular customers. But in 1967, that dream was shattered. But not our hopes for a better country for all American's. Dr.King's resting place is very peaceful, as was his philosphy about life. This is one site that you can stay at all day. From his chidhood home, to the tomb, this is Atlanta's History, and America's History! 12/1/06-Coretta Scott King is now entombed next to her husband. Check-out Rolling Bone's BBQ, after a visit!

• Pros: True American History!
• Cons: Parking can be a little confusing at first, Safe!

Awesome...

by houstonbunny25

Visiting the site was absolutely awesome. We went two days and I still wanted to go back. Its just so much to see and the whole experience is moving. I'm not sure if it made a difference or not but we had a blind tour guide for the house. He was absolutely great. I dont know if he's more visual because he cant see but I couldnt have asked for a better tour guide. When he was talking, you could really imagine Sweet Auburn as it was. I HIGHLY recommend this attraction and best of all, its all free. They have museum and short movies and the church, the firehouse, the birthhome and other scattered artifacts like the wagon used in MLK's funeral procession. Atlanta was a nice city (just as any other with its pluses and minuses) but overalk MLK Historic Site is a must see for everyone!
