🚨There are many reasons to follow .living , what’s yours?

🇺🇸On this Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, I wanted to share photos from my 2018 trip to Atlanta. It was a thrill to visit the historic sites and go inside Ebenezer Baptist Church. While at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Visitor Center, I saw people gathering and clamoring for pictures. It was King’s daughter, pictured here. What a memory to see her taking pictures with guests!
