That would have truly contributed to the King legacy of helping poorer communities, Instead we now will have the Coke "Human Rights Museum" pathetic. “If there are villains in this outcome, it could be the churches and other major landowners along Auburn Avenue who allowed the street to deteriorate while keeping a tight grip on their property investments.”
