The renowned civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr., was born Michael King in Atlanta on January 15, 1929.
Atlanta has been called the City of Love, A-Town, Dogwood City, The Big Peach and most recently, Hollywood of the South, due to its booming film industry.
In the springtime, when the dogwoods are in full bloom, Piedmont Park in Atlanta comes alive at the Dogwood Festival, a family-friendly crafts and music festival that has been a tradition since 1936.
