Built Environment Description (Interior)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had spent his whole life dedicated to helping the country become desegregated. Because of all of his hard work, the MLK Museum was built in 1968 as a memorial for his death. The center soon grown to show not only all that MLK has done but his wife, Gandhi, and Rosa Parks as well. The center has different pictures and photos of these people growing up and their influences on others. There are also other things to see besides the main center. People can visit MLK’s childhood home and the church that he used to preach at. All these places are a part of what they consider this historical park so everything is free. These locations are spread out around the neighborhood but it is all on the same street. They really are not hard to find at all. As the years went on, I believe that this center became less popular (besides on MLK Day) but it still continues to be open to the public. They do not advertise the place on TV or anything because people just know that it is here in Atlanta. This site makes me feel proud to be who I as a black woman. It show all the struggle that my ancestors have went through in order for me to have what I have today. We can not really take these things for granted because they can change at any time. This site allows people to think about how we need to continue to just have peace in the world.
