Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Memphis is a famous civil rights movement city in the south-central United States. This National Civil Rights Museum was converted from a motel, where American civil rights leader Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968. On the outside of the museum, you can see the room where the assassination took place, surrounded by wreaths expressing people's respect and mourning. The museum displays many historical materials about the American Civil Rights Movement and black slaves, as well as materials related to the trial process of the Martin Luther King case.

We parked in front of the National Civil Rights Museum or Lorraine Motel. It was dark and gloomy that day, and there was no one in front of the motel. Two cars parked in the parking lot, that is, in front of the hotel room, which seemed a little strange. If nothing else, parking here and getting off the bus is still valuable. In addition, this is a moving attraction, not too far from the previous location! Go and see.
This is our second visit to the museum (we visited it in 2012). The upgraded museum is fantastic, the sense of history is coming, and you will not regret visiting this museum. It is close to the city center and you can take a tram to visit, temporarily replaced by old-fashioned buses during renovation. The museum is close to the mall restaurant, central barbecue and the Bruce Museum.
Great human rights warrior Martin Luther King Assassination の Motel transformation の Museum, it seems that it is a short hundred years の American history is actually very contradictory and long! There is a section of American slaves tragic のtriangular trade but objectively promoted the development of Europe and the United States and non-three states at that time! Just like silver coins の positive and negative! As the end said: the great era of Atlantic originates from Greedy! Haha the best and worst have created history, this is the law of contradiction and unity of opposition and the law of the world developmentの!
very well done. peaceful experience.
A museum expressing American culture, looking at the environment is good. Very good place.
