Spent a few days in Atlanta, Georgia. Real southern hospitality. Saw a Braves baseball game at Turner Field and went to Mary Mac's Tea Room, an Atlanta institution and ate some delicious fried chicken, green fried tomatoes and Brunswick stew. Went to The Martin Luther King Centre where Dr. King was born and preached. We were struck by how it was only fairly recently desegregation came to the south and what a struggle it was. The presentation of these events was very moving.
