On Friday the 16th, Jen and I went around the entirety of Dr. King’s national historic park, taking in sights of both her area for the BED as well as mines. The first place we visited was the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. We went around the sight taking pictures and documenting our tour; during the time that we went, around 1:30, we were lucky enough to see a reenactment of Dr. King’s speech in the basement of the Church. The speech was accompanied by a brief history of the church and its pastors, overall, it was an educational gain for the both of us. After wandering around the National Park center for a bit, we then headed to the King Center, where the picture was taken. The historic park established in 1968 by Mrs. Coretta Scott King, centers around the area where Dr. King grew up; it still stands today as a reminder of the civil rights movement, and all that Dr. King had to offer to the cause. A wonderful addition to the city-scape of Atlanta.
