I’ve been to Memphis twice, which means I’ve been to the National Civil Rights Museum at The Lorraine Hotel twice. The first time was in the early 90’s and the second time was in 2022. My memory of the first time was that it was just the Lorraine Hotel and walking through it was a fairly short, but powerful experience. After seeing a retrospective of MLK’s life and the 60’s era civil rights movement, I watched a video of his “Mountaintop” speech where he seemed to predict his own death, and then walked to his room, and then to the exit. Everything was quiet. We were within a few feet from where he was shot. I just stood there and let all of it overwhelm me as it should.
