International Civil Rights Walk of Fame

This guide to the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame in Atlanta walks the promenade between Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth home and Ebenezer Baptist Church, where granite markers hold real footprints cast from the shoes of movement leaders. It traces broadcaster Xernona Clayton's push in September 2004 to give Sweet Auburn something more permanent than a plaque, and introduces the first class of honorees, from Rosa Parks to Thurgood Marshall to two American presidents. Look down as you walk this stretch of Auburn Avenue.
