About this park: 
A young boy grows up in a time of segregation…A dreamer is moved by destiny into leadership of the modern civil rights movement…This was Martin Luther King, Jr. The park includes his childhood home, the “I Have a Dream” World Peace Rose Garden, the first racially-integrated fire station in Atlanta, and Ebenezer Baptist Church, the church where MLK Jr was minister.

Why did we choose these colors?
The photo Dr. King's boyhood home was the inspiration for our colorway.
