"But If Not?"

Was one of the most powerful moments in my life. Walking into such a historic place and being transported back to that time is unbelievable.We walked into the sanctuary and one of Dr.King's speeches was playing over the speakers. Chills and awe only scratch the surface of the feelings.


I was born in 1976. By the time I was in school the events of the civil rights movement seemed long ago. I never grew up knowing a different world.Growing up in Southern California a melting pot of diversity, I never knew any different. I went to schools where nobody was the same anything and skin color didn't matter. I don't know the difference because of those who fought against that principle.

I never really understood the impact until my visit to the Martin Luther King birthplace and historic site.
One of the most life changing moments in my life that words cannot do justice. I've never before stood in a historical place and had such a moving moment. Chills, tears, awe.....




If your ever in Atlanta, I highly suggest you visit.
