King Center For Non-violent Social Change and its collection

King Center For Non-violent Social Change
Source

In 1981, the headquarters of The King Center were relocated to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park facility on Auburn Avenue. This location is of particular interest to visitors as it includes King's birth home and the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he preached from 1960 until his death. These sites offer a unique insight into King's life and work, making them a significant part of any visit to The King Center.

Memorial Tomb and Gravesite

A memorial tomb was dedicated in 1977, and the remains of Martin Luther King Jr. were moved from South View Cemetery to a plaza situated between The King Center and the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Visitors to The King Center can also see Martin Luther King Jr.'s gravesite and a reflecting pool located next to Freedom Hall. These sites provide a solemn and reflective space for visitors to pay their respects to the civil rights leader.
