Also planning on going to the Dexter Ave King church and pasonage the same day. Hopefully will have time to fit in a couple other sites and memorials..

I spent 4.5hrs. It was closing or Ida stayed another 40min. But I also read every bit of it and did ALL the interactive options and watched ALL the short films I’d def include the memorial site, a 4min drive away, which will likely take you at least another hour. The memorial is more of a place to reflect while strolling.
