One
of
my
favorite
places!
Get
here
to
get
your
childhood
home
tickets,
they
are
free.
You'll
have
to
come
back
to
the
front
desk
30
min
before
your
scheduled
tour
to
pick
them
up.
Then
you
meet
in
the
gift
shop
next
to
the
home
to
start
the
tour.
They
run
a
video
every
30
minutes,
in
a
theater.
The
movies
vary
and
run
about
10-15
minutes.
They
give
a
great
background
and
history
and
I'd
recommend
watching
these,
especially
for
students!
The
displays
are
very
well
done
and
walk
you
through
his
story
and
the
Civil
rights
movement.
There
are
lots
of
photos
and
videos
playing
at
each
stage.
A
separate
room
is
dedicated
to
his
funeral,
and
the
cart
that
carried
his
casket
is
in
that
room.
There
are
tons
of
artifacts
throughout.
I
cry
walking
through
here,
you
really
are
put
back
to
that
time
and
the
horrifying
reality
of
segregation
and
the
brave
battle
that
MLK
Jr
and
his
family
and
the
other
activists
fought.
Absolutely
recommend
this
place,
and
visiting
the
birth
home,
Ebenezer
Baptist,
his
resting
place,
and
now
the
fire
station
too
(which
I
didn't
get
to
see).
It
can
all
be
done
in
3
hours
time.
