Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was laid to rest following funeral services at Ebenezer Baptist Church and a public memorial at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Over 300,000 people, including civil rights activists, national dignitaries, and everyday citizens, marched solemnly behind King’s casket. In a symbolic tribute to his humility and legacy, the casket was carried on a simple wooden farm wagon pulled by two Georgia mules through the streets of Atlanta. The procession reflected both reverence and resolve, marking a pivotal moment in the struggle for justice and equality.
