Memphis Suite 4 - Respect for the struggle for justice

Photographs at the US Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. It is built into the site of the former Lorraine Motel, where the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, while helping to lead a strike by sanitation workers for the right to form a union.

It presents a deep and thorough history of the grassroots and organized struggle for civil rights in the United States, from the beginnings of slavery four hundred years ago to recent times.

We found it profoundly moving.
