The Lorraine Motel where MLK was assassinated is now the National Civil Rights Museum, 450 Mulberry Street in Memphis. We visited in 2016. The museum makes you relive tragedy of 1968 but yet honors the brave and incredible life that Martin Luther King, Jr. lived.
The boarding house from which James Earl Ray fired the fatal shot was made part of the museum, and it was an eerie visit.
In 2024, we visited Washington D.C. and walked to the Martin Luther King, Jr, Memorial in West Potomac Park. Completed in 2011, it stands 30 feet tall and is inscribed "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope."
Views across the bay.
May we all ascribe to live a life as courageous as MLK. RIP Martin 💗
