Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the greatest hero...

Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the greatest heroes America has ever produced, and I can't think of anything more worthwhile to do if you're in Atlanta, than visiting his memorial. It's tricky to rate, since this site is so many different things it's basically it's own neighborhood. Some of it is very well designed and organized, and some of it is kind of thrown together in terms of information, BUT the historical significance is there throughout. I'd recommend visiting his former church and his childhood home above all else. It's the visitor center that was surprisingly a bit underwhelming. I am glad however that this site is now paid the respect of finally being recognized as a National Park.
