"Noted as one of the nation's premier heritage and cultural museums, the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, is steadfast in its mission to share the culture and lessons from the American Civil Rights Movement and explore how this significant era continues to shape equality and freedom globally.
Established in 1991, the National Civil Rights Museum is located at the former Lorraine Motel, where civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Through interactive exhibits, historic collections, dynamic speakers and special events, the museum offers visitors a chance to walk through history and learn more about a tumultuous and inspiring period of change."
I came away with a better understanding of what my people had to fight for and go through for me to live the life I live today.Alex Cotton
My favorite part about the museum was the experience of the 'I Have a Dream' speech. Having a feeling on what it could’ve been like if I lived in that moment.Matthew Stone
