Reviews
"Visited the King Center for the MLK holiday. A lot of history!"
"Humble experience at The King Center. Self-guided tour with an outside memorial pool, enteral fire pit, and the final resting place of Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King. Inside of the King Center there is so much history from different artifacts( medals, dresses, clothes, and pictures ). There is also a room dedicated to Rosa Parts and Gandhi."
"Great experience to share with my sisters. Brought back a lot of memories and unfortunately mirroring what we still see. If nothing else, I took from there the witness of the strength and resilience of those who were before me."
"There is so much amazing history here. I visited twice. Loved seeing MLS's artifacts."
"First, I enjoyed the site and what it stands for, but I noticed that the center grounds aren't kept up. The Roses had weeds and overgrown the site of the graves I have a long history with the Internional Rose Garden here and California, across the street the walls could be power washed where the reflectionpool is located, people from all over the world come to see this historical site. The Park and Rec has to do a better job at keeping it maintained? The King family and the Federal Government needs to do a better job and be more active in its appearance?"
