Atlanta: A Call to Higher Ground
by Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King
To My City, My Home – Atlanta:
For sixty years, Atlanta has been my home. I was born here. Growing up, my mother, Coretta Scott King, told me stories of my grandfather, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr., and other faith leaders working with civic and corporate leaders to advance civil and human rights. Over generations, from pulpits to podiums, our preachers, politicians, and proprietors echoed the iconic phrase that has come to define our city, “Atlanta is the city too busy to hate.”
