- Martin Luther King Historic Site. Nice, but we really thought the layout and presentation at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis was much better.
- Jimmy Carter Library and Museum. This was very nice, and a good presentation about the Carter years and the post-Carter years (albeit a little one-sided, but that’s not a surprise). We even got to see his Nobel Peace Prize!
- High Museum of Art. An art museum, with a variety of American, European, and modern art. I’m not a big art museum person, but Erin liked it. I was more interested in the fact that it was next to the Alliance Theatre.
Tomorrow, it is off to Nashville for an interstitial day. On the way out, we plan to try to visit the grave of Mary Phagan [Historic Marker] (we’ve been listening to Parade, and this is connected to the Leo Frank Trial (more info)). It took a bit of searching, but I’ve found a map to it; I’ve also found the location of the lynching site—I’m thinking we’ll leave a stone or two there (he’s buried in New York). We also plan to visit the Parthenon in Nashville, and have dinner at Demos.
