Photography or any image recording was not allowed inside, so I only took a photo from the outside of Dr. King's birth home at 501 Auburn Avenue. It is a modest Queen Anne-style, constructed in 1894. 
In the courtyard of Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change is the Mediation Pool.
Above and below murals are on display outside of the King Center, showing the timeline of the struggles during the civil rights movement.
An eternal flame burns in a small circular pavilion directly fronting the white marble crypt where both Dr. King and Mrs. rest. 
Outside the Freedom Plaza, Dr. King and Mrs. King final resting place, surrounded by a five-tiered reflecting pool, a symbol of the life-giving nature of water. The inscription on Dr. King's tomb reads, "FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I'M FREE AT LAST".
