Birth Home of Martin Luther King, Jr
Modest Queen Anne family home where a civil rights leader was born and spent his first twelve years.
This guide to the Birth Home of Martin Luther King, Jr in Atlanta opens with a young boy loosening the screws on a piano stool in his family's parlor, a prank pulled in the Queen Anne house on Auburn Avenue where King was born on January fifteenth, nineteen twenty-nine. You'll hear how his grandfather bought the thirteen-room house in nineteen oh nine, how the family gathered around that same piano and dining table, and about a childhood friendship that ended when a neighbor's parents intervened. It also traces the home's more recent past, closing for repairs in late twenty twenty-three before rangers spent two years bringing it back.
