Yes it is apparently holy ground considering MLK’s church, home and crypt are nearby. Considering the neighborhood you would think they would find other things to bitch about.
“Yes it is apparently holy ground”
I am not familiar with Atlanta, having never visited, but if all of this is in bad neighborhood well then they should be thrilled for the reference to a key part of the Civil War. It has been 146 years since the end of the Civil War and 47 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act. A lot of time has elapsed for blacks to acclimate themselves to their increasing opportunities and to the acceptance that once upon a time, they were slaves in America. At this point in their history, the stories of slaves should be an exciting piece to their collective puzzle and welcomed not only their educational value but their sentimental appeal. Organizations like the NAACP and the likes of Al Sharpton et al have done more to perpetuate the victimization of black Americans than the legacy of antebellum times has ever done.
I had to check to see where exactly this is located in relation to anything at all that could be deemed offensive to the memory of MLK. These crackpots are delusional.
It is next to Underground Atlanta, the Capital and Georgia State University ie the center of downtown. Roughly a mile across an interstate from the King Center. These idiots just don’t like it because it is on MLK Drive.
