Regal Cinemas Atlantic Station 18 IMAX & RPX
On Google reviewer says this: “My husband and I had a great experience. We went and saw Captain Marvel in the Screen X theater and I have to say it definitely was a surprise. Seeing the movie on 3 of the four walls was exciting and different. I’ve been coming to this Regal Cinemas location for years and will definitely continue coming here….”
Landmark’s Midtown Art Cinema
On Google reviewer says this: “t’s a convenient location just a couple of blocks from Piedmont Park. The mall is a little dated and so is the theater, but they do you have everything that you want here. There are a lot of screens, the rooms aren’t large (that’s nice!), and service was fast. It doesn’t compare to the shiny and oversized theaters in the suburbs, but then again, here you’ll find the Oscar winning movies alongside really well-curated films.”
Starlight Drive-In Theatre and Flea Market
One reviewer says this: “Great for those who have kids. It’s is in a rough area but didn’t have any issues with anyone. Restrooms we’re clean, concessions were slow but reasonable prices. The movie screens are a little dated and could use some remodeling. Otherwise, a great experience.”
AMC Parkway Pointe 15
3101 Cobb Pkwy #201, Atlanta, GA 30339 | (770) 937-0730
One reviewer says this: “I really enjoyed my experience at this AMC theater. The location is perfect. It is located above Main Event which is a definite plus. There are plenty of appetizing restaurants in the surrounding area that you can choose from. Parking is free. The theater is clean, however, the lady’s restroom did need more attention. It was not filthy, but it did have a strong urine scent on the left wing of stalls. The theater was large and I liked having the option of choosing and reserving my seat ahead of time. Check in was fast and efficient. The recliner seats were comfortable and well spaced from the front and back. I will definitely return to this theater again.”
AMC Dine-In Buckhead 6
3340 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326 | (404) 467-9619
One reviewer says this: “Cool little spot. The bar served a good drink. The food wasn’t the best at all for the price. However, it’s a 3 in one stop. I would return and recommend to you go. I know for a party of two we both had 2 drinks, a plate of food, and a shared appetizer.”
Cinefest Film Theatre

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. got a lot of credit and adulation from his supporters, but none were more important to him than his wife, the late Coretta Scott King.
Not only is she one of the most iconic women to ever live in America, but along with her husband, she continues to be a charismatic force for good across the world.
You may know that she lived most of her adult life in Atlanta, Georgia, but there’s so much more you may not know. This article will shed some light on the woman behind one of modern history’s most respected leaders.
Best Coretta Scott King Quotes
Mrs. King left us with some indelible quotes that continue to inspire and motivate us years later. Here are some of her best quotes.
On Hate: Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.On Freedom: Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.On the importance of women in the movement: Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.On humanity: I believe all Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.On her in-laws: Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood, the best in a marriage, the kind of people we are trying to become.Here Are 11 Things You May Not Know About Coretta Scott King
Coretta Scott was born in 1927 in Helberger, Alabama, about 40 miles northwest of Selma. Coretta‘s parents were Obadiah Scott and Bernice McMurry Scott.
She Was Valedictorian Of Her High School Class
Mrs. King was super-smart! She graduated as a valedictorian from Lincoln Normal School in 1945.
The school, which closed in 1970, was founded in 1867 by freed slaves as a school for black children.
Coretta Scott King Was Musically Inclined
As a young person, Mrs. King was skilled at playing various instruments in high school. She played trumpet and piano, sang in the chorus, and participated in school musicals.
When she enrolled at Antioch College, she studied music. She later would make history as she became the first non-white chair of an academic department in a historically white college.
She would later transfer from Antioch to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. That’s when she would meet her future husband.
She Babysat A Famous Actor
As a young professional, Mrs. King took up babysitting as a means to earn some extra cash. One family that employed her were the Lithgows family. Coretta would go on to babysit John Lithgow, who went on to become a famous actor in Hollywood.
(Another fun fact is that Lithgow is actor Brad Pitt’s uncle.)
Coretta Changed Her Wedding Vows
When the Kings were married, during the wedding there was one unique variation of the wedding vows: In an unusual move, Coretta had the vow to obey her husband removed from the ceremony.
Obviously, this didn’t mean a thing to MLK, who loved his wife more than anything in the world.
She Played A Major Role In The Passing Of The Civil Rights Act
Contrary to popular belief, Mrs. King was as much as a civil rights leader as her husband. She did as much as anybody to help get the Civil Rights Act passed.
“Not enough attention has been focused on the roles played by women in the struggle. By and large, men have formed the leadership in the civil rights struggle but…women have been the backbone of the whole civil rights movement,” she reportedly said.
After MLK’s Assassination, Coretta Sought A Woman To Take Her Place In the Movement
Not long after her husband’s assassination in 1968, Coretta approached the African American entertainer and activist Josephine Baker to take her husband’s place as leader of The Civil Rights Movement. After many days of thinking it over Baker declined, stating that her twelve adopted children (known as the “rainbow tribe”) were ” … too young to lose their mother.”[5] Shortly after that Coretta decided to take the helm of the movement herself.
She Founded The King Center In Atlanta
It is said that two days after MLK’s death, Mrs. King began plans to honor her husband with a lasting memorial.
As a leader of the movement, King founded the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta. She served as the center’s president and CEO
from its inception until she passed the reins of leadership to son Dexter Scott King. Today the King Center is the official memorial dedicated to the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and center of nonviolent social change.
She Petitioned For Years For MLK Day
As far back as 1972, Mrs. King envisioned a national holiday to honor her husband.She openly opined that there should be a day on the American calendar to honor a black man “and, at this point, Martin is the best candidate we have.”
She petitions were eventually successful in 1986, when Martin Luther King Jr. Day was made a federal holiday by President Ronald Reagan.
Oprah Helped Her Find A New Place To Live
In the 1990s, Mrs. King’s home has been hit by several burglaries, including one in which the intruder encountered her sleeping in her bed. After the incidents were highly publicized in the newspapers, media maven Oprah Winfrey paid for her to move into an expensive condo in Buckhead. Former tenants included Elton John and Janet Jackson.
There Is Also A Coretta Scott King Center
In 2005, Mrs. King gifted the use of her name to her alma mater, Antioch College at Yellow Springs, to create the Coretta Scott King Center, an experiential learning resource to address issues of race, class, gender, diversity, and social justice.
She Died In Another Country
After a series of mild strokes, Coretta Scott King traveled to Mexico to begin at the rehabilitation center in Rosarito Beach. She checked in under a fake name, but her real identity soon became known to her caretakers.
Inside the Oasis Hospital, she underwent holistic therapy for her stroke and advanced-stage ovarian cancer. She died on the late evening of January 30, 2006.
Conclusion
Coretta Scott King is one of the iconic figures of the 20th century. She will always be known as the heart and soul of the civil rights movement, but she was much more. She was a dedicated servant, leader, author, humanitarian, mother and American matriarch.
Other women of the movement helped to shape the world we live in right now. What they didn’t tell you about Rosa Parks.
