MLK, Jr. Station and the adjacent J.B. Jackson, Jr. Transit Center is a DART light rail and bus station located on North of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, between Trunk Avenue and J.B. Jackson, Jr. Boulevard in south Dallas, Texas (USA). It became a Green Line light rail station on September 14, 2009.[2][3] The station served as the southern terminus of the Green Line until extended to Buckner Station in December 2010.[4]

The station is rich with art and architecture expressing the history of the South Dallas neighborhood and the African heritage claimed by most of its residents.
