I had had enough of the area around the Olympic Park and I moved over to the other side of downtown and the interstate to an area known as Sweet Auburn. There are several buildings and constructions related to Martin Luther King Jr here and I felt it important to pay homage to this great man. This is the tomb where both he and his wife have their final rest. It is part of a complex which bears the somewhat unpractical name of Martin Luther King Jr Center for Nonviolent Social Change.
