Embrace our community on a field trip to the MLK Center Friday, April 20. We will tour the visitors center exhibits and Ebenezer Baptist Church. Then we will continue on to the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, via the Atlanta streetcar, where you can purchase lunch from one of the many vendors. Plan on $12-15 for lunch. CPWC will cover the streetcar fare. The MLK Center is free.
We will meet in the Atlanta Country Club parking lot on the right at 9:00 am to carpool, arriving at the Center by ~9:45. We will tour the MLK Center until ~11:30am then take the Atlanta Steetcar west bound to Sweet Auburn Curb Market. We will depart the market ~12:45pm, traveling east bound to MLK Center, and leave from the MLK parking lot ~1pm, returning us to ACC between 1:30 and 1:45.
Parking for the MLK Center is in the (free) National Park Service lot off John Wesley Dobbs. We will meet in the lobby of the visitor center. There is a walkway from the parking lot to the visitor center entrance.
A member of the programs team will go early and try to secure a time to tour the MLK home if possible. Home tour reservations are same day only, everything else is self guided.
Please RSVP and update your RSVP if you later decide not to attend. Guests are welcome!
