In this special, two part travelogue, we take you along with our host through Atlanta and south west Georgia as we visit several of the most historic spots in the nation.
In this first episode we head into Atlanta and visit the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. We will look back on some of the major accomplishments of the Carter years and some of his post Presidency work helping with elections, eradicating diseases, and continuing to teach Sunday School in his local Church. We will in this visit show you around the museum and relive a few of these special moments.
Then we will drive about five minutes down the street to visit the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site run by the National Park Service. It encapsulates an entire Atlanta neighborhood and features the historic Church, Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. King served as an assistant Pastor alongside his father. It also includes his boyhood home and an extraordinary museum about his life where you can see his Nobel Peace Prize. In fact, Atlanta boasts one of the few places where you can see two Nobel Peace Prizes on display with in five minutes of each other between Dr. King and President Carter.
You can tour the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and the King Center, and walk down by the reflecting pool and Eternal Flame where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and his wife Coretta Scott King are entombed. It is an extraordinary Historic Site and we hope you will tune in and learn about the Civil Right Era that was born here in this Atlanta neighborhood.
Then in our next episode, we will head out into rural Georgia to visit the historic Little White House where Franklin D. Roosevelt stayed off and on for 21 years as he fought to recover from his debilitating Polio illness, and we will also visit the small southern , rural , Georgia town that Rosalyn & Jimmy Carter called home, Plains.
