Why you should go…

Few places carry the weight of history like these blocks of Auburn Avenue: Dr. King's birth home, historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, and the reflecting pool where he and Coretta Scott King rest. The visitor center exhibits set the civil rights movement in vivid context. It's powerful, free, and essential to understanding Atlanta.
