National Civil Rights Museum

As so many that have had the opportunity to view this breath taking museum, I was speechless, and felt as though I was there the day it all happened. I loved every minute of it, just listening to the stories brought tears to my eyes to hear and see what our people went through to make things better for generations to come. If you have not been, please go its well worth the money you'll spend in gas.

I visited memphis in 2007 After the birth of my daughter. One day I had the opportunity to visit the civil rights museum, when I looked at the outside something came over me that I had never felt before. We walked in and the first place I really wanted to see was Dr. Kings hotel room. When I got to his room I began to cry because It was like his spirit had never left the hotel. I began to become more grateful for the people who struggled to make things better for all generations after them. It was one of the most breath taking museums I have ever been to. The most strangest thing happened on the way out of the museum, the lady who was there through every thing that happened even the death of Martin Luther king was sitting on the corner so we decided to go and talk to her. I saw that she really cares for Dr. King because she slept there all night, she told stories about what happened. The stories she told were touching to me. I will be returning to Memphis January 9, 2009 To visit my father and I will make a special trip to go to the museum. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoyed. Very nice history lesson. Learned a lot of interesting facts. A little overwhelmed trying to read everything.
