Walk around the side to see the room where MLK Jr. was shot. Visit the Civil Rights Museum while you're there!

Christopher Blacksher

Anyone who comes to Memphis should come here! It's now the National Civil Rights Museum of the city . Don't visit Graceland if you can't visit this place! MLK's legacy lives on!

Amanda Whetstone

Get there early and plan to spend a few hours. This is not something you want to rush through. You could easily spend three hours or more here. So worth the time.

Doug Leavy

If you have a soul, you appreciate what MLK was trying to accomplish and you want to continue the dream!

The site of Dr Martin Luther King 's assassination in 1968, and adjacent to the National Civil Rights Museum .

Worth stopping by even if the museum is closed. There are educational video installations outside.
