Historic Furnishings Report: Martin Luther King, Jr., Birth Home, Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, Georgia.

摘要

Since the Martin Luther King, Jr., Birth Home has already been partially restored and refurnished, it is important to summarize the available information on the goals of that restoration and the procedures followed by those who carried out the refurnishing. The present report on the furnishings incorporates information gathered in connection with the 1974-75 restoration project, in 1984 interviews with Mrs. Farris and Mrs. Bennett, and in a 1987 interview with the Rev. Joel King, Sr., younger brother of Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr., and a resident of the house from about 1927 to 1937. Since the site staff plans to conduct additional interviews with members of the King family and friends from the 1930s and 1940s, the report may be subject to future revision on the basis of evidence not presently available.
