Atlanta's historic Ebeneezer Baptist Church is across the street from the Martin Luther King, Jr National Historic Site. The newer building is adjacent to the site commemorating the non-violent civil rights movement.
Video newsreels and documentaries guide visitors through the South's Jim Crow laws and the African-American people's peaceful demonstrations for voting rights. While the photographs below will give a view of the exhibit, the links provide a more in-depth revelation of the historical significance of the courage that people of many races demonstrated.
