About 10 years ago I made a shapefile of places visited by Martin Luther King Jr. as part of a combined Black Geography and MLK exhibit.

Subject: Martin Luther King: related maps?
Hi
I have been asked to purchase some maps that document events in the career of Martin Luther King. In other words, not just maps of a neighborhood where he
marched, etc, but thematic maps that indicate where such events happened.
Anyone know of such?
