Martin Luther King and Civil Rights

Here are a few pictures from our hotel area in Charleston, South Carolina:

We left Charleston and drove to Atlanta, Georgia. We tried to see the Jimmy Carter presidential library, but he was going to be there 2 hours later for a book signing. Security had already closed down the library and we didn't want to wait in line for 2 hours. Ah, well!

This was our second stop:

This is the wagon that carried his coffin:

I joined the group walking across the  Edmund Pettus bridge:

Outside on the grounds:

I don't know what these are but they were everywhere and so beautiful!!!:

After this stop we made our way to here:

This is where the church got it's name:

This is the church where Martin Luther King's grandfather and father were ministers and where Martin

also served with his father for a time.

Just a couple of blocks from here is the home

where MLK was born:

That was our day - less sobering than previous or upcoming days! And pretty nice weather to boot!!
