Forty-six years ago today, President Jimmy Carter signed Public Law 96-428, establishing the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site and Preservation District in Atlanta. It was part of my mother’s vision to ensure that the places where Daddy was born, lived, worshipped, worked, and was laid to rest would be protected for generations to come. For my mother, preservation was never simply about protecting buildings. She understood that preserving these sacred spaces also meant preserving truth, history, and the lessons of the movement. Today, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park stands as a testament to her vision and to the importance of ensuring that future generations can walk these grounds, learn this history, and be inspired to continue the work. #CorettaScottKing #MLK #TheKingCenter #JimmyCarter
