ATLANTA — When President Joe Biden arrived in Atlanta last Tuesday for a major address on voting rights, his first stop was Auburn Avenue, where he met with the family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
For about an hour in the King Center, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris sat across from Bernice King, Martin Luther King III and his wife, Arndrea Waters King. He reminded them of the importance and urgency of getting stalled voting rights legislation passed by Congress.
Then, they went outside and placed a wreath on the crypt of King and his wife, Coretta.
