J Photos: A Trip to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park

In October, I took my first trip (that I can remember) to Atlanta to visit a close friend from home. One of our first stops upon my arrival was the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park. I am ashamed to say, I had no idea the magnitude of the site — it spans several blocks and includes MLK Jr.’s childhood home and church, and an interactive visitor center — I was in awe. I encourage everyone to visit this pristine historical site; when I make it back to Atlanta, I plan to spend at least one full day taking in everything there is to learn and experience.

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgement. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what are you going to do for others.”
