South-View Cemetery in Atlanta

This is the final resting place of Martin Luther King's younger brother, Alfred Daniel Williams King, and AD's son. Initially, AD was not as engaged in academics or the ministry. Eventually he followed in his family's footsteps, he graduated from Morehouse College and began assisting in services at Ebenezer Baptist Church. On May 11, 1963, his home in Birmingham, AL was bombed. He was a firm believer in non-violence who continually challenged protesters to not resort to non-violence. He was with his brother, Martin, when he was murdered at the Lorraine Motel.
Unfortunately, AD died a tragic death when he drowned in the family's swimming pool.
