Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park

This park in Atlanta's Sweet Auburn district preserves sites connected to the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Visitors can see the modest two-story house where he was born in 1929, tour Ebenezer Baptist Church where he and his father preached, and visit his tomb set beside a reflecting pool. A visitor center traces the movement he led, and the surrounding neighborhood was once a thriving hub of Black-owned business and culture. Together the sites offer an immersive account of a defining chapter in the nation's struggle for equality.
