Kristin did a wonderful job giving us the history of MLK and the entire peaceful movement to gain rights for the black. She was interesting and very easy to hear and was able to answer most any question presented. However Ebenezer Church was closed and that was disappointing. I think the tour could have been longer at the same cost. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance of the experience for a full refund.

After Dr. King's assassination on April 4, 1968 plans were begun to restore the house as a historic museum. Today visiting the home where Dr. King was born and lived the first twelve years of his life is often the highlight of ones visit to the park. The popular free ranger-led Birth Home Tours of the interior of the home are limited to 15 people and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the tour.
Also, visit Dr. King's favorite soul-food restaurant and one of Atlanta’s best-loved diners, the Busy Bee Cafe, for lunch; and the Martin Luther King Jr. In 1895 a two-story frame Queen Anne style house was built for a white family at 501 Auburn Avenue.

Williams moved into the house with his wife Jennie Celeste and their 6 year old daughter Alberta Christine, their only child of three to survive infancy.
