ATLANTA (AP) — President Joe Biden has made a historical pilgrimage to what he calls “America’s freedom church” to mark Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. Biden says democracy is at perilous moment and that the civil rights leader’s life and legacy “show us the way and we should pay attention.” Biden was the first sitting president to deliver a Sunday morning sermon at King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church. The president cited the telling question that King himself once asked of the nation — namely, “Where do we go from here?” Biden said his message on King’s birthday is “we choose democracy over autocracy.”
