The King Center is a must if you are learning about the Civil Rights Movement. Make sure you also take the tour of the MLK birthplace and Ebenezer church. We have found it is more meaningful to take our child with older African American family friends who can relate what life was like for them during that period. The visitor center has a lot of resources including exhibits, films and a bookstore.
