around the church. He allowed his church and his home 10 to be used as a
meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education
and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in this atmosphere, with
his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt

face of Atlanta's segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot
the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial
prejudice 25 that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black
Atlantans from mingling with whites.
