The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, examines the history of the American Civil Rights Movement and the ongoing struggle for racial equality. It is housed in the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, alongside several historic buildings connected to the events surrounding his death. Visitors follow the history of civil rights from slavery and segregation through the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Freedom Rides and March on Washington. Exhibits combine photographs, documents, personal stories and historical objects, while the preserved motel room where King spent his final hours forms one of the museum’s most significant spaces.
