The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and Historic Site is near downtown Atlanta and offers many free programs and tours along with nearby Ebenezer Baptist Church and the home where King was born. The nearest MARTA station to the King Center is the E2 King Memorial Station. You can walk 15-20 minutes to reach the site, though it is still somewhat in a transitional area and best walked during the day time and in a group (see the walking map).
You can also take bus 99 from the King Memorial or North Avenue Station. Plan ahead though because the bus only runs every hour, departing from the King Memorial Station at five past each hour.
The other option is bus 113, which departs from the Inman Park and Arts Center Stations and also goes by the historic site. It is more frequent, but is a longer ride. Get on at the Inman Park Station for a shorter commute.
