Stunning sanctuary space where Dr. MLK, Jr. continued preaching peaceful protest after a bombing that killed 4 girls (11 & 14 years old) who were robing for choir between Sunday school & worship.

The volunteers will let you tour on your own in the lower level, then let you visit the sanctuary. Don't forget to make a purchase in the gift shop.
