King widow breaks ground for new center in Atlanta
Coretta Scott King broke ground on the 10 million King Center for Social Change in Atlanta marking the civil rights leader's birthday observances. The project aims as a memorial and teaching center for nonviolent action while ruminating on persistent urban poverty and unemployment across cities. Dexter King spoke at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery about his father's nonviolent legacy as crowds gathered for King Day ceremonies.
