Martin Luther King Jr. was an American civil rights leader, and a Baptist minister. He received the Nobel Peace Price for his efforts to end racial discrimination by non violent means in 1964. King was assassinated in 1968 and is entombed at the King Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Coretta Scott King (1927-2006), the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a Civil Rights activist who worked alongside her husband to promote nonviolent social change in race relations in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. After her husband's assassination, she founded the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Change in Atlanta in 1968. The Ansley Hotel was built in 1913 by Edwin P. Ansley, who also developed Ansley Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The building was located on the 100 block of Forsyth Street. In 1953 the Ansley was sold to the Dinkler hotel chain and was re-named the Dinkler Plaza Hotel. The building was demolished in 1973. - Local Identifier:
