The Lorraine Motel - MLK RIP

[ASsman]

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968) was a Baptist minister and American political activist who was the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement. King won the Nobel Peace Prize before being assassinated in 1968. He is the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1977, King was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by Jimmy Carter. For his promotion of non-violence and racial equality, King is considered a peacemaker and martyr by many people around the world. Martin Luther King Day was established in his honor.

If you're ever in Memphis, make sure to go to the Civil Rights Museum. It's at the old Lorraine Motel. They added a new back on it, so that you wind through the museum and see a progression of civil rights stories, and you end in King's bedroom, and see where he was murdered.

The only bad part is that it sort of stops the civil rights history when King died.
