Civil Rights context

A fictional protocol in the city central to Dr. King’s life

Martin Luther King Jr. was born and raised along Atlanta’s Auburn Avenue, where his boyhood home, Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church and The King Center now form part of a National Historical Park. The quest’s protocol and puzzles are fictional; the neighborhood’s role in the African American Civil Rights Movement is documented history that deserves thoughtful attention.
