March 3rd, 2007: Atlanta, Georgia.

MLK's childhood home, the Ebenezer Baptist Church where he was first pastor, his tomb and memorial museum are all within the same city block here. The site was unfortunately dilapidated and the museum was surprisingly uninspired given the subject.


But Georgians have their priorities straight. They got the Confederate Memorial right. The 'Rushmore of the South' occupies the most beautiful space just outside the city, where a carving of Davis, Lee, and Jackson - also about the size of a city block - has been forever set in granite.




Stacey's friend Jackie, who's at school at Emory, came over to see the war heroes and climb Stone Mountain with us.
