Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site

Before leaving Atlanta this morning, I visited the neighborhood where Dr. King  was born, grew up, and is now buried. This historic neighborhood includes the King family home, Ebenezer Baptist Church, The King Center, and a number of surrounding residences. Besides seeing King's birth home, my favorite part was sitting in the church all alone and getting to hear a recording of one of Dr. King's sermons that included the sounds of his congregation responding to what he said. I closed my eyes and imagined what it would be like to be in the congregation. Such a blessing!
