Exploring MLK's Legacy: A Historic Journey

Best way to start your day. A little history lesson for you.🇺🇸🌎✌️ Martin Luther King, Jr. Day may not mean much to you - let’s fix that. Your kids can’t learn it from you if you don’t learn it yourself first… “Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective."
Dr. King’s Christmas sermon, Atlanta, Georgia, 1967. Let’s go backwards in time. 🔹MLK Memorial in Washington DC where he stands near some of our greatest US presidents 🔹The grave where he is buried next to his wife Coretta in Atlanta 🔹The Lorraine Motel in Memphis where Dr. King was assassinate in 1968 which is now the amazing National Civil Rights Museum 🔹Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where he was assistant pastor under his father from 1960-1968 🔹The Alabama Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama which was the end of the Selma to Montgomery March led by MLK in 1965 🔹Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery where the Montgomery Bus Boycott was headquartered and where Dr. King pastored from 1954-1960 🔹The house where he lived the first 12 years of his life in the MLK National Historic Park in Atlanta I hope this inspires you to make your road trip destinations meaningful. Don’t just read history - visit the places. It’s my favorite way to learn! Go teach your kids something. World-changers are worth knowing.❤️ 👉I’d love to give you travel tips to these sites!
