This is an image of Civil Rights activist leader Jesse Jackson. He’s speaking at Ebenezer Baptist church. The significance of this image is that it shows that even in the modern day, this Church is a very significant location for speakers on Civil Rights, and that people will continue to meet at this location to protest for equal treatment until it is provided.

In this video, Martin Luther King, Jr. is shown to be speaking about his opposition to the Vietnam War and his approval of Muhammad Ali for taking a stand against the war. In this video, you can see the passion in King’s eyes, as well as the crowd intently listening. This helps to illustrate how influential King was, as well as how important the Church is in pushing his beliefs and protests.

This photo, taken from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, shows a sign on the outside of the Ebenezer Baptist Church Building. The sign has lights, and appears to be one of age, as the lettering implies, as well as the fact that this sign in particular has been the subject of photos for years prior. The sign is very welcoming and bright, and attracts people inside.

This photo of the church was taken in 1979 by a photographer named Stephen Goldfarb. This photo was taken about ten years after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and, as you can see, the Church still appears to be in excellent condition. This site is, without a doubt, the most historical site in Atlanta.

This video shows crowds of mourners as they wait for the chance to view Martha King’s body outside of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The crowds consist of mainly African-Americans as they wait for their chance to pay homage to the mother of one of the largest historical figures in the history of Civil Rights. Alberta was shot by an African-American that claimed that “All Christians are [his] enemies”. Unfortunately, due to formatting, I am unable to embed this video.
