I spent hours and hours in ATL as I waited between flights. I designed it that way. I didn't want to stress over missing my connection because of snow when I took off from Chicago or rain when I took off from Key West. I happily discovered that, if you have to be stuck in an airport for hours and hours, Hartsfield-Jackson is good.
They have a permanent exhibit devoted to Dr. King! Maintained by the King Center, it's case after case of personal items, donated by Coretta Scott King. And harried travelers just barrel past it, concentrating on their phones and roller bags and don't even notice the history right there. I'm grateful I had the time to stop and look and take it in.

| These are just the parts of the exhibit that were easiest to photograph |

| His 60s-style transistor, wristwatch, the glasses he really didn't need but often carried. |

| The actual suit worn for his Oval Office meeting with LBJ, 1965 |

I had no idea those items were displayed in the airport there.
