A must-do experience in my opinion, the National Civil Rights Museum is located at the historic Lorraine Motel in downtown Memphis where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed on April 4, 1968. There is much to learn about the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s and this museum gives you an opportunity to experience some of that while also seeing the role that Memphis played in the movement.
