King was born on January 15, 1929 at 501 Auburn
Ave., on the second floor of the Queen Anne-style
house owned by his grandfather A.D. Williams.
Down the street, Williams -- and later King's
father, Martin Luther King Sr., and King himself
-- pastored at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Today,
"Sweet Auburn" -- the prosperous black
neighborhood that was home to King and his
parents, grandparents, brother and sister -- lies
largely within a national historic site and a
preservation district, a reminder of Atlanta's
role in pushing a tide of change in America.
