Atlanta: The Martin Luther King Jr Historic Site

So the other day I went here:

Martin Luther King Historic Site

The words “powerful” and “emotive” barely even summarise the experience of visiting the MLK Historic Site. The visitor centre covers the history of the bus boycotts, the freedom rides, the backlash against the civil rights movement, the marches on Washington, with video clips of King’s speeches, new reports from the time, and retrospectives. It’s powerful stuff, and a reminder of how far the world has come and how much still has to be done (in terms of every form of bigotry and -ism).
