Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and civil rights activist who had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States, beginning in the mid-1950s. Among his many efforts, King headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Through his nonviolent activism and inspirational speeches, he played a pivotal role in ending legal segregation of Black Americans, as well as the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, among several other honors. He was assassinated by James Earl Ray and died on April 4, 1968, at age 39. King continues to be remembered as one of the most influential and inspirational Black leaders in history.
King was fatally shot by James Earl Ray at 6:01 p.m., Thursday, April 4, 1968, as he stood on the motel's second-floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek, smashing his jaw, then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder. Abernathy heard the shot from inside the motel room and ran to the balcony to find King on the floor.
The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park covers about 35 acres (0.14 km2) and includes several sites in Atlanta, Georgia related to the life and work of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Within the park is his boyhood home, and Ebenezer Baptist Church - the church where King was baptized and both he and his father, Martin Luther King Sr., were pastors - as well as, the grave site of King, Jr., and his wife, civil rights activist Coretta Scott King.
The tomb of Martin Luther Jr. and Coretta Scott King is located across Auburn Avenue from the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Visitor Center on the grounds of the King Center. Freedom Hall sits at the east end of the reflecting pool that now surrounds the tomb, and the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church is located near the west end.
King was originally buried at South-View Cemetery on Jonesboro Road in Atlanta, the same place as his parents. His body was reinterred in the King Center tomb in 1970, though at the time the administrative building, Freedom Hall, and the reflecting pool did not exist (the administrative building and pool were completed in 1977, and Freedom Hall opened in 1981). When Coretta died on January 30, 2006, she was also buried elsewhere because the original tomb was only designed to hold one coffin. After being enlarged, her body was reinterred next to her husband in November 2006. - บันเทิง

The reason why Martin Luther King's childhood home was gated off was because a crazy girl tried to burn it down. Smh. It was all over the news. This was a beautiful video. Was a pleasure to watch on the last day of Black History Month ❤
A black girl tried to burn it down
I remember hearing about that. That was horrible!
Just trifling.
Just Crazy 😢
As a native American from Colorado USA feel so honored to be able to take this walk with you,for I know that I'll never see this place in person, I'm so thankful for the huge sacrifice Dr.King made in His lifetime and the how his story ended, but as we all know ,he's dream n prayers and the hard work was not in vain,for we,as children of black and brown people will overcome, thank you, Scott for this wonderful experience,
I live in Atlanta I remember back in 2016 I was working and we had no work and my co worker told me where Martin’s grave was at I was down the street from it so I went to go check it out and my job didn’t mind. I went and saw his and his wife Coretta’s grave, I saw the church they used to attend to, and the SCLC place they used to be at as well and I was amazed to be there cus I love MLK and the security guard was nice as well she just told everyone don’t sit on the thing where the graves were at but we can take photos. The experience was amazing for me.
Thank you Scott for this wonderful vlog of Martin Luther King. Well Done! I enjoyed learning about his background.
Thank You Scott for always displaying respect for races and creeds. This one here had me a little emotional thinking about the riots here in DC. I was 6 at the time, but I remember it vividly. I will be traveling to the ATL soon. A little disappointed King's childhood home isn't open. 😢
HOW DISRESPECTFUL "MARTIN" PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME 🤬🤬
I haven't been there since I was a child. I'd like to go back some time.
I remember being a little girl I met Coretta Scott king in the mid 80's she and Rosa parks came to Toledo Ohio where I'm from to do the dedication for Dr king our church choir sang lift every voice " I also had a solo I sung the greatest love of all". And Mrs. King hugged me I got a standing ovation I never forget the hugs from Rosa parks and Coretta Scott king ❤ thanks Scott ❤
What a beautiful way to finish off Black History Month. ✊🏾 MLK was a huge trailblazer for Civil & Human Rights. I wonder what the world would be like today if he was still alive. I thank you so much for taking the time to explore our AA culture. Im truly humbled by your pure spirit and dedication towards keeping Black HIStory alive. I am big supporter of your channel. ❤
....Wow Scott......This Brought TEARS to my eyes watching....Bringing back memories of My Parents teaching my Brother and Sisters on who Martin Luther and his wife Coretta was and what they meant to us all... You showed so much GRACE to this and I want to THANK YOU BROTHER. U have such a Great HEART. BLESSU BROTHER.
After the sad times i've had this year nothing gives me more joy than to support you. from Vickie❤
Your video on MLK was so good that I am compelled to give you a shout out. Excellent work, and thank you. We all miss so much this man of honor.
I appreciate that thank you so much
That's a Cool grave surrounded by water...Wow! Beautiful. RIP Mr. King n Wife. ❤
That was breathtaking ♥️
The site where dr Martin Luther king is honored , remembered and his tribute is just beautiful hard to view without remembering what a great man he was as was his wife. A beautiful tribute hearing his words being spoken throughout his memorial was heartbreaking and powerful to think he’s gone. Thank you Scott so much I may not get to Atlanta but am grateful I got to see his memorial site , again thank you.
Ikr? Woth all due respect it's my fav grave to see next to the late great Muhammad ali's 💯
Wow Coretta been without MLKJr for 38 years until she reunited with her husband! Blessed to the families of MLK Jr.
Beautiful. MLK had a profound impact on me age 11 all the way over here in New Zealand. His vision, his work and commitment to his people was amazing. Now at 42, over my last 30+ years I have read, watched and learnt so much more about this great man and this important movement. I love that you let the places, words and visuals tell the story. Compelling. Remembrance. Hope. I hope to visit one day soon. Much love to you Scott long time fan, love your videos. Rest in Power Dr King and Mrs King.
Wonderful way to end Black History Month!
R.I.P. to MLK,his wife Coretta,
and his children Yolanda and Dexter.
Awesome video as always,Scott!
Thank you Scott. Your respect and honor for all the people you tell us about is exemplary. This one for Dr. and Mrs. King was truthful and moving. I'm 70 years old remember very well the horror of his assassination and the aftermath.
Powerful, poignant, beautiful. Thank you Scott.
19:45 One of the most beautiful and moving pieces you have done. Made me cry, thank you.
Thank you so much Bonnie ❤️
This brought tears to my eyes as well 😢
The most beautiful resting place for two of the most amazing people ❤
I know you're gonna dig this Atlanta Georgia 🇺🇸

Why do you keep posting the same comment over and over?
I've been to the King site a couple of times it deserves our utmost respect
That is the first time that I have seen MLKing's gravesite. It is so magnificent and awe inspiring. it brings tears to my eyes. Truly a sad part of our history. Rest in Paradise Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King.
This one of yours moved me. With all due respect, Dr.Kings grave is arguably the most peaceful and beautiful looking next to the late great Muhammad ali's. 🙏🕊💯
This is truly humbling, we lost a great man who taught the world we haven't for each other since....RESPECT
The first time I went to Dr. King's grave in the early 80's there wasn't the fountain and you could walk right up to the marble crypt and touch it. I felt like I was touching something truly special.
Scott thank you so much this video on Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr was so beautiful.. .
Wow thank u I live in Scotland uk and would have never in my life time have seen his grave what a great man of this world xx
My god, how beautiful their resting place is .. this video was very emotional to me .. scott, you out did yourself on this one ..
Great musical selection when you were by Martin and Coretta’s grave site
Thank you so much, Scott. This was so powerful. " One single issue at a time" I as a ' blah,' white' child born 1960,n was raised with a mother who taught me to see no color. Thanks, Mom. Dr King is one of the most powerful, insightful men that ever drew breath. We have so much thanks to give him.
Scott this is by far one of the most loved videos. I love anything to do with history so thank you
Why is it that good people die soon...yet the evil last around?... I have my opinion...do you?
Thank you, Scott, for this video. May others walk in the same footsteps as Dr. King ❤🙏❤️
I’ve always wanted to bring my sons here, but my husband is not Interested in historical things like this. Thank you for sharing Scott.
Go without him don’t let him be the reason of you not seeing what you want to see.
I bet he's not interested that says a lot.🙄🤔
Thanks Scott for sharing the black history moment for the late Martin an Coretta Scott king
This is one powerful video, really hits deep, my Mother taught me from a very young age that we should respect everyone, no matter your race, religious beliefs, we're all equal. Some of the most inspirational people to walk this earth were Black, MLK, Rosa Parks, Bob Marley. Still to this day their message is just as powerful.
Rip to Martin luther king and Malcolm x godbless use both 🙏😢✊️🖤
Thanks for taking me on your journey. You always show so much respect to the departed and their families. You are a class act ❤
RIP🙏🏽 DR. KING & MRS CORETTA KING
Thank you for this video. My husband and my son and I visited Marion, Alabama to see Coretta Scott King's Childhood Home and the church where her Father preached. ❤
This is a bucket list place i want to visit
❤❤❤❤
I’m from the U.K., and have been watching your videos on and off for the last few days, this one I have to say was so beautifully done, I’m not sure I will ever get to visit Martin Luther kings resting place, but from your video I can see how wonderful it is, and it brought me to tears. Thank you
Scott I must say that you have outdone yourself I hope that everyone who celebrates black history month sees this footage that you have posted it's very that we understand why we celebrate Black History month, very well done Scott😊🙏
Thank you Scott, the right time for black history
I always had the upmost respect for martin luther king jr. and what he stood for, there's always been discrimination in america and dr. king did his best to help suppress it before he was murdered. Scott, another great job with this video that's so very meaningful to the history of our country.
Man this video gave me the chills. Thank you so much for sharing. I want to be able to go visit Dr. Martin L King Jr. and Mrs. King's grave and the museum. I am definitely needing to put this on my bucket list. Simply Awesome!!!!!

Rest in Peace Martín Luther King Hi Scott greetings to you from London UK
Scott, I always forget that you can donate and through the comments. I just wanted to send you this as an extra because I really appreciate everything you do and wanted to support the greatest YT channel I know. Hope you make it home soon and safe. Hugs to you and Shady ❤
You are the best thank you my dear Flo❤️ I’m headed home (finally) in just a couple of days and I’ll be back with Shady. Your generosity is deeply appreciated. You’re awesome !
thank you so much I couldn't have imagine how beautiful martin Luther king museum and monument with his wife would be so beautiful..I wouldn't have ever seen this I thank you sir
Thanks so much for this, Scott. I came here to New York from Maryland in 1968 with my mom & lived downstairs in the basement apartment in my grandmother and aunt’s house. I remember being upstairs in my grandmother’s house in the living room and I saw Dr. King’s funeral procession on tv. I didn’t understand who he was, then, cause I was age 5 going on 6 that year. As I got older & did more research and watching documentaries, I fully loved and appreciated him as well as Coretta for everything they’ve done in the name of civil rights. After Dr. King was assassinated, Coretta picked up where he left off & kept his memory alive. This video got me very teary eyed. I miss Dr. Martin & Coretta Scott King very much. Thanks again. Much love to you.
You are so welcome thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you Scott. You have been showing some great videos.👍. My family is like a rainbow filled with all colors, and ethenic back ground. We don't know the meaning of hate, or discrimination. We were taught to love everybody. Respect everybody. We know we can't change the past but we can try to make the future better for our children. Knowing you can't make people love you. But we teach is the truth. Violence don't solve nothing. We enjoy your videos.so keep doing what you are doing. Know we love and appreciate you. Feb is also heart month. Again thank you. Much Gratitude from all of us to you. Love, Respect and Positivity Always. Vee.✌️✌️💕🖖🦋🌻🙏🙂👋👣.
❤️❤️❤️
This was fantastic Scott👍
I had no idea that their resting place was like that. Just beautifully filmed and the music was on point. I think this might be my favorite video you have done. ❤
What an inspiration to all. Thank you for taking us along, Scott.
That place is beautiful, love the reflection pool.
Hi Scott, thank you so much for sharing this video (Brought me to tears)
For the atrocity behavior people of color (I am a proud woman of color and it breaks my heart) what we had to endure BUT also for the legacy he and his wife has left for everyone to see.
We, as a people, still have a long way to go.
😥
Such A Beautiful Tribute 😢
Wow this was amazing beyond words. This is my first time seeing his burial and they did an incredible job. It is so surreal to me that a man who made such incredible changes and is a huge part of history is resting right in front of you. Thank you for this incredible video.
Thank you, Scott. Your hard work is truly inspiring and amazing. Thanks for honoring Black History Month, your platform will truly rise. 🙏🏾🌹

Hi there, RIP Martin Luther King, 💐💐💐💐💐💐, murdered for trying to change the world and to give people freedom and there human rights. He was so young when he was murdered, a very beautiful memorial site for a very special man, the grounds are exceptional and graves are amazing. We must never forget what this man tried to do for us. It should be equal rights all over for Black or White people, women or man. Thank you Scott for letting us tag along xxx👍✌️🤟🏼⭐️
OMG the graves of both of them are beautiful this whole video was beautiful ❤
Beautiful video, I remember visiting that museum as part of a 4 day field trip in my 6th grade class visiting Atlanta with the rest of my classmates and teachers as a end of the year trip, we were picking up on so much about the civil rights movement and I never got tired of it. We also visited the grave of Dr. king and his wife. I love every bit of the video, thank you Scott for sharing this with the rest of us.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for the presentation

Ive been to his grave twice. Good video. Thumbs up. 👍
I echo the same comments as everyone else to THANK YOU Scott On Tape. I've been watching your channel for a while. Loved your Emmitt Till video, Black music artists, you do me proud. Keep up the good work 👍🏾 This video was on point. I've been there three times but only got one chance to go inside the house. If you get a chance, tour the house. It is amazing. Toys he would have played with, food items his mother would have used to cook with 😊 Again thank you. 👍🏾✌🏾♥️
Thank you so very much Loletha for watching ! And I hope I get inside the house soon I was so disappointed I didn’t get to go in
Very nice! Was waiting for this one!

Thank you Scott ! I am a volunteer tour guide at the King Center . You did a good job! And you are correct about their being so much more to see there ! There are two museums and 3 bookstores as well ! And the famous Auburn Avenue! I watch all of your videos ! Thanks for what you do ! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much Linfred! I LOVED my experience at the museum. An incredible place, a special place.
This one had me crying! Thank you for sharing, Scott...
I was a child/teenager when this was happening.
I was a child/teenager during these times...
Amazing work my friend! You did a terrific job on this video. Great history and a sad day when he was assassinated. He was a national treasure and may he R.I.P.
Thank you for the beautiful video
Thank you, Scott! Beautiful way to wrap Black History Month. ❤
Scott you did a beautiful job, the beauty they have created for them is angelic . ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful gravesite! Thank you again. This is another masterpiece.
he was a great man trying to get people to all be one and he had a dream and wish his life did not end the way it did but RIP Martin Luther King and thanks Scott for sharing!! 💐💐
TY Scott
This was all very moving, thanks for bringing us along. The monument and park is a very fitting tribute for such a great man. My parents always brought Dr. King up alongside Nelson Mandela examples of the struggles for equality and civil rights in different countries and I’m glad to be able to show them his and his wife’s final resting place. RIP Dr. & Mrs. King
Hey Scott watching play back, I was there in 2020. I didn’t get to go in the church or his child hood home,cause of Covid
Visited MLK visitor center and gravesite. Very humbling! What a great man!
Thanks scott found that very interesting hugs from dublin ❤
Thank you Scott. A wonderful video and you ae so professional and respectful. Ase.
I remember going there as a kid they expanded since I was there
What an amazing video and tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Junior the sad reality his dreams have been lost if he was to see how society is today the racism that still exists high rates of murder drug induced deaths suicide all those beautiful dreams have been lost, but with videos like this, they will not be forgotten. I just hope the kids of today grasp Some of the lost forgotten history and make a change
Right on Scott!!!!!!!!!
My favorite video of yours!!!! Dr. King has always been a hero of mine even when I was 2 years old!
Thank you Scott that was a memorable walk to take with you. He was a wonderful man. Have a blessed day Karen.
Sorry I'm late Commenting On This, But Great Video Scott, You Do These Videos With Great Honor & Respect For The Individual. Martin Luther King Holds A Special Place In My Heart.

Thanks For Doing This Video To Honor Martin Luther King. Rest In Peace Martin Luther King Jr 🙏🕊️
