Reviewed by: Haana from on Feb 22 2009 History before your eyes When I was here I met one of the men that marched with Martin Luther King Jr. His story was the best part! He works there, but I don't know if he still does. There were brouchers and in one of the pictures was him marching with Martin Luther King Jr. and he circled himself and signed it for me!
Reviewed by: Josilin from on Oct 28 2008 A DREAM This place was beautiful. I enjoyed every moment of the tour and the video that was played. After visiting you can truly understand what Dr. King wanted for all his people. He was a man for ALL! I highly recommend this site for kids, adults, and ALL God's people.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 07 2008 A life Changing Experience It was memorial day weekend 1994 And I came to Atlanta to visit my girlfriend. I wanted to visit this site and she refused to go with me because she said that it was to hot. I was able to find my way there from stone mountain with out a hitch it was almost as though I had lived in the A all my life. I took many pictures that afternoon. and I toured the birth house. I used those pictures to teach many a black history lessons to the many differant classes I have had over the years. In december of 2006 after the Christmas break I returned to myclass to explain to 15 kindergarden students that I would not be their teacher anymore because I had moved to Atlanta Georgia. At the end of the day one of my students was telling his grandmother that I was not going to be his teacher any more because I had moved To Atlanta Geogia Where Dr. Martin Luther King used to live. I know live here in Atlanta I love it I am still teaching children about the struggles that America went through to gain equality for all people. I encourage you and your family if you are visitng Atlant toplace this site at the top of your things to do list in georgia. If you are here on Sunday come and felloeship With me at the Ebenezer Baptist Church
Reviewed by: liz from on Aug 02 2008 Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like that the place told alot about the history of Martin Luther king by just showing the cool things inside of the mueseum that had everything to do with him.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on May 20 2008 Be Careful It is a good place to visit, but you need to be careful when getting there. We decided to walk and the site is right next to a rough area. On Auburn Ave just after going under the underpass on I-75/85, there was graffiti on the walls and some closed stores. I had to go up Hillard St. and Irwin St. for safety purposes. Don't take any pictures when inside the house. They will take your camera away. I could visit again, but drive instead of walk.
Reviewed by: Rite Aid from on May 04 2008 Best historic place I've been to. I just enjoyed reviewing the history of such influential African American men and women as well as Ghandi. Awesome place to take young people of all races to learn of how the things we come to enjoy became reality.
