National Civil Rights Museum - Lorraine Motel, Memphis

This experience was one in a lifetime. It's great to learn and read about our history in the textbook, but this museum brought the textbook to life! It was so emotional yet such an amazing experience. I would recommend for family trips, school field trip; any kind of trip. One must visit this museum at least once in their lifetime. It was well put together! Job well done. It was everything in one (educational, emotional, inspirational)!

This is the absolute best historic museum I’ve ever been to. I recommend every single American visit this museum. It is a world class experience with interactive exhibits, fascinating artifacts from history, sound clips, videos and movies, as well as historical recreations or civil rights movement pieces from the real stories that have been preserved. You will never experience the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the loves he touched like you will here. It’s incredible. It is a beautiful testimony to the amazing life he lived and to many of the women, teens, and other men and allies of the history of the United States who have fought for our civil rights and freedoms. I left sad for the loss of life that brought the US to this day, but deeply inspired by the many freedom fighters who have been seeking liberty and justice for ALL with their flesh and blood. Please plan 2-3 hours to really read and absorb this experience. You won’t regret it it’s a national landmark and an incredible museum run by an incredible team of caring guides and staff. Would definitely return.
