Martin Luther King Jr – The Real Jerusalem Streets

Jerusalem’s Martin Luther King Street

While the US is celebrating the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend,

it is business as usual in Jerusalem, Israel,

but seemed like a good day to revisit the street named in his honor.

The United States celebrates a federal holiday

in memory of Martin Luther King Junior.

In Jerusalem, Israel a street has been named for him.

Not a long street,

but a new one in one of the best neighborhoods,

off of Emek Refaim near the Liberty Bell Park.

A few meters away is another sign,

it is in memory of the eight people who were killed

there in a bus terrorist attack in February 2004.

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr and those killed by acts of terror.
