Today, members of the King family joined The National Park Service in Atlanta in celebrating the upcoming (July 4th) reopening of the Martin Luther King Jr. Birth Home, in which my father was born. I shared my thoughts about the reopening in my remarks at today’s gathering. Listen to some of those thoughts in the video.
The Birth Home on Auburn Avenue is part of the larger Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park around the Sweet Auburn neighborhood. The Birth Home has been closed for restoration since late 2023.
The Birth Home is right up the street and within walking distance of The King Center; however, The King Center is not a part of the MLK, Jr. National Historical Park.
King family members also in attendance and in the video: my brother, Martin Luther King, III, his wife, Arndrea, and their daughter, Yolanda Renee; Dr. Angela Farris Watkins (daughter of my paternal aunt, Dr. Christine King Farris); Farris Watkins (Angela’s daughter); and Isaac Newton Farris, Jr. (Aunt Christine’s son)
