National Civil Rights Museum
Civil Rights Museum
I was really amused with all of Memphis and what it had to offer as far as the museums and the bar-b-que. the jazz the Blues. I could just feel the free spirit of the people of Memphis that I was exposed to. Everyone was so friendly. The music was the boom. I guess that I was just over whelmed with all of the history, from Martin Luther King to Elvis Presley, and loved those grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I loved the concerts by the river. Memphis I will be back......... Thank You

Tour Guide
FedEx Express had a class to tour the Civil Rights Museum on May 10th and the participants had nothing but raved reviews for Lakita (I think that is her name). They appreciated her knowledge and professionalism. Based on this, I wanted to send in a note of THANKS to Lakita and to let you know how much her input meant to the class.
Lakita, keep up the GREAT job you are doing for the museum.
