There was so much to see and experience in Atlanta. We spent the early part of the day in the King Memorial district. Many students toured the home where Martin Luther King Jr. was born and lived as a child. Also in the area there are several buildings with exhibits dedicated to MLK, Coretta Scott King, Ghandi, and Rosa Parks. The Martin Luther King Jr Memorial is also located there just blocks from his home. Seeing his final resting place together with his wife, Coretta, was a meaning part of the day for many.
In this same block is the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Martin Luther King SR was a pastor and where Martin Luther King Jr eventually joined him in the ministry. Jenn posed for this great photo as we were walking by.
A bunch of the girls quickly joined Jenn for the photo but I'm not sure they realized I was no longer focused on the sign. Jade, Amanda, Laine, Naomi, Korissa, Fiona, Jenn, and Dao all made it into this shot. Chelsea is peeking in the back ;)The rest of the day in Atlanta was good and bad. There was miscommunication, bad decisions, hurt feelings, hard conversation, and ultimately a good chance for us to work out as a team the things that we are trying to be about on this trip.
