Today was a day full of learning experiences. Atlanta, Georgia is a beautiful place to visit if you are looking for a historical tour. We went to the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Museum. It is one of the most beautiful, calming places there is. In the museum you can find Dr. Luther's body along with his wife, Coretta Scott King in the middle of a water fountain. Next to it is the Never Ending Flame, which is there to represent the continuance of Martin's Dream. We also visited another museum in which we can see what is going on around the whole world. There is a simulation that basically takes us back in time to show us how bad segregation was. Afterwards we went to eat at CNN. CNN is gigantic and has many diverse backgrounds/cultures. Then we went to Spelman College which is a all women school, located in front of Morehouse College (an all male school). The College is full of so many different opportunities, and is also very diverse. Women from all over the world attend Spelman to pursue an equal treatment career. The college over all is very nice and welcoming. It was nice getting to go into a college where there are just women. I enjoyed it.
