In the Historic Lorraine Motel
Back to National Civil Rights Museum
This was very emotional, but I think every should visit. I can definetly appreciate the history in this place and I am thankful to those that endure those terrible hardships so that we can have some freedom today!!!

This was an excellent museum and I recommend you visit this place if you are going to Memphis. My favorite part was the short movie The Witness. It was touching and very emotional. Things I never knew about MLK were in this movie (and I thought I knew everything). The one negative is that there is A LOT of reading, but if you take the guided tour it is not necessary to read everything (and it's great for the kids). I would come back to Memphis just for this!

The museum is a time capsule/museum all in one. A must-see for civil rights enthusiasts and history buffs!

This has got to best the most historical persentation of the civil rights movement in the United States. It is a "must see" spot for every American who lived during those these times and for the ones that have just heard about them.

To stand where the most important martar of moderd times life ended is emotionally overwhelming but an experiance I will always remember. It is the reason to visit Memphis over any other.

The Civil Rights Museum is an excellent place to visit, it gives you chills to think that such a wonderful person was killed here in my hmoetown. It deplicted the civil right era wonderfully. The staff are friendly and warm and make your visit great. I would recommend you visit yourself.
