We paid our respects today to Corretta Scott King and Dr Martin Luther King Jr and their family by visiting the MLK NHS and King Center. The exhibits were quite thought-provoking and humbling. The pictures below show both tombs, the eternal flame, and the Historic Ebenezer Babtist Church were King preached.
Up Auburn Street is the Freedom walk, which is now in disarray and haunted by panhandlers. We ate with the locals at Thelma’s Kitchen and Rib Shack, which had the best ribs, catfish, mash potatoes, greens, and sweet potatoes we’ve found so far.
We used the train and bus system to get from Marietta to Atlanta and back each day and were asked not to take pictures in the stations as a terrorist precaution. Hmmm. The relief murals were outstanding.
