Coca-Cola Gives Land to Build Civil-Rights Museum in Atlanta
October 24, 2006
The Coca-Cola Company has donated 2.5 acres, worth about $10-million, to the city of Atlanta to build a civil-rights museum, reports The Associated Press.
The new museum will be in downtown Atlanta, Martin Luther King Jr.‘s hometown.
Earlier this year, Coca-Cola and other local businesses and philanthropists bought Mr. King’s papers from his family to display at Morehouse College, his alma mater.
