While speaking on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. You can relive history here by visiting the balcony and Dr. King’s room, restored as it was when he was here to support the Sanitation Worker’s strike. Through interactive multimedia exhibits you participate in the civil rights movement and learn its history from the 1600s through Rosa Parks and the freedom riders until today. Admission: USD12 adults, USD10 seniors and students, USD8.50 children (4-17). The museum is free Mondays after 3pm.
