1. King Center in Atlanta, Ga.
January 9-10, 2018

2. On January 9 and January 10, 2018, seventh grade students of Griffin Middle School had the unique opportunity to participate in #Nonviolence365 at The King Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The events are part of this year's festivities commemorating the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination. The #Nonviolence365 presentation featured an interactive discussion on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, as well as a guided tour of Dr. King's birth home and Ebenezer Baptist Church.  Dr. King grew up in the historic African-American neighborhood of Sweet Auburn, similar to the Frenchtown community of Tallahassee. This trip was funded in part by the Leon County Schools Foundation grant as a part of a project to preserve the history of historic African-American neighborhoods.
