These Sites Honor the Legacy of Black Women Throughout the South

"To know about Atlanta is to know about Martin Luther King, Jr. He grew up here in the Old Fourth Ward. His childhood home used to be open for tours. As a child I vividly remember walking the length of the home, the wood creaking underneath my feet. His wife Coretta Scott King is integral to Atlanta as well. It was Coretta who continued to push his work forward after his murder in the creation of The King Center in 1968. Visit the crypt that sits atop a reflection pool where both Martin and Coretta have been laid to rest to pay your respects."
