The Lorraine Motel - National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis, Tennessee
We visited the The Lorraine Motel and National Civil Rights Museum during our recent visit to Memphis. I had been here once before many years ago. This is such a moving, incredible place to visit. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of The Lorraine Motel. The National Civil Rights Museum, directly across the street, encompasses the boarding house from where James Earl Ray fired the fatal shots. You can see the bathroom from where he fired the shots. The museum also includes the room where James Earl Ray stayed in. The museum has every artifact imaginable from this horrible tragedy, including the bullet from Dr. King's body. It goes into tremendous detail regarding the events that led up to the shooting, the shooting itself, the aftermath, and the hunt for and prosecution of Dr. King's killer, in addition to conspiracy theories that I never knew about. I learned so much about this tragic event that I never knew about. This is definitely a place that I highly recommend to everyone to visit.

Lorraine Motel, Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee, United States, North America
The National Civil Rights Museum is a complex of museums and historic buildings in Memphis, Tennessee; its exhibits trace the history of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States from the 17th century to the present. The museum is built around the former Lorraine Motel, where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Two other buildings and their adjacent property, also connected with the King assassination, have been acquired as part of the museum complex. The museum reopened in 2014 after renovations that increased the number of multi-media and interactive exhibits, including numerous short movies to enhance features. The museum is owned and operated by the Lorraine Civil Rights Museum Foundation, based in Memphis. The Lorraine Motel is owned by the Tennessee State Museum and leased long term to the Foundation to operate as part of the museum complex. On October 21, 2016, the museum was honored by becoming a Smithsonian Affiliate museum. The site began as the 16-room Windsorlorrine Hotel around 1925 and was later known as the Marquette Hotel. In 1945, Walter Bailey purchased it and renamed it for his wife Loree and the song Sweet Lorraine. During the segregation era, Bailey operated the motel as upscale lodging that catered to a black clientele. He added a second floor, a swimming pool, and drive-up access for more rooms on the south side of the complex. He changed the name from Lorraine Hotel to Lorraine Motel. Among its guests through the 1960s were musicians going to Stax Records, including Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, Aretha Franklin, Ethel Waters, Otis Redding, the Staple Singers and Wilson Pickett. Following the assassination of King, Bailey withdrew Room 306 (where King died) and the adjoining room 307 from use, maintaining them as a memorial to the activist leader. Bailey's wife, Loree, suffered a stroke hours after the assassination and died five days later. Bailey reduced the operation by converting the other motel rooms to single room occupancy for low-income residential use.
