Dr. King's home on Sunset Ave is currently undergoing restoration and will hopefully be open to the public in 2027.
Here's a peak at what it looks like now.
Thank you for letting us explore this incredible historic site. @nationalparkservice @berniceaking @thekingcenter

If you've got a big group, let us know! We do private tours!
As part of our Martin Luther King Jr Walking Tour, you have the option of stopping by The Madame CJ Walker Museum. Not only does the museum honor America's first female millionaire, it also celebrates The Werd Radio Station!
Werd Radio was the first black owned and operated radio station in the United States. Keep the music going for yourself, visit the museum on your own, or join us and discover the magic of the Sweet Auburn neighborhood.

✨️💡Illumine!!💡✨️
For a short time only, you'll be able to see Historic Oakland Cemetery after dark!
April 18-21
April 25-28
Illumine 2024 features multiple musical performers each night. Performing this year are-
cellist Okorie “OKCello” Johnson, jazz group Bonaventure Quartet, singer/songwriter
Veronika Jackson, rock band Moody Hollow, and guitarist Joe Capo. Performance
schedules are listed on Oakland’s website.
This year, Illumine invites attendees to engage with the theme "out of the shadows" via
interactive installations that play with light, shadow, and movement.
• Infinity Shadows in Oakland, by local artist David Muehlenkamp offers guests the
opportunity to view themselves in shadow perpetuity.
• Artist Stefanie Wardrep’s Left Unsaid invites guests to send notes to loved ones who
have passed via “mailbox” renderings of Oakland sculptures.
• Returning artist Cooper Sanchez, also a long-time Oakland horticulturalist,
transforms Oakland’s greenhouse with both natural and visual interpretations of
the lives of moths—creatures of shadow— in his piece, Attracted to Light.
• Phillip Cheng’s Aurora Avenue is a colorful lightscape that pays homage to winter
and heralds the coming of spring.
• Cast Your Shadow, by Black Label Design Company, invites guests to briefly leave
their marks at Oakland by creating shadow art and images.
• Into The Light, a soundscape by gardens team member Janna Rhoden, guides
guests through the shadows and back into the light. It is inspired by the beauty
found uniquely within Oakland Cemetery, whose garden speaks to all who listen.

We spent the weekend at Oakland Cemetery! It's always beautiful in this historic space, but for extra fun, we bought a spinny trivia wheel that makes clicky click spinny sounds. We did not bring the opossum but did offer it a job...we've yet to hear back.

We took a break from our company retreat to stare at the sun!

In celebration of Dr. King's birthday, we thought we'd take a look at how other cities are honoring his legacy.
Guide Akila was in Montgomery, where the bus made famous by Rosa Parks took to its old route.
