Photograph of a street sign at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Westlake Drive in Atlanta, Georgia. In Martin Luther King Jr.'s hometown of Atlanta, commercial interests opposed the naming of a street in his honor, though without success. Today, Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, on the west side of the city, is the location of significant development and a major landmark in the city's tourism industry.
