This place does a flawless job of converting the location of one of America's most tragic civil rights events into a deep and meaningful presentation of what it was all about from a holistic perspective. The museum doesn't pull any punches and the exhibits showcase an emotional narrative of what Black Americans have endured (are enduring) in the United States. Across the street from the Lorraine Motel the museum continues into the building where Martin Luther King Jr.'s shooter was located. Similar to the JFK museum in Dallas, the exhibit offers alternative theories to the mainstream shooter narrative (in this case, James Earl Ray) and asks those reviewing the information to draw their own conclusions. Somber, insightful and a must see when you're in Memphis.

This was a great place to visit. Very informative and educational, everyone should learn this part of our country's history.

First, I didn't like the lack of directions. They need arrows to show the next steps of the museum in the beginning. Now, the great things about the museum. FREE PARKING was great. There are little boxes that show different clips of black history leading up to the entrance. You can see the outside where Martin Luther King was shot. There was attractions from slavery to the bus boycotts to Bloody Sunday. Be prepared to walk! Bring comfortable shoes! After the museum, you can go across the street to another part of the attraction so there is plenty of walking. It was a great experience!

Very inspiring museum. It shows the full history of African Americans, as well as the very place Martin Luther King Jr was shot and where he was shot from. This is a must see if you are in the area. Took us about 3 hours to go through, but it was packed with so much history.

I liked that this museum exhibits slavery from the point it started in America. Due to time constraints, i was able to spend only about an hour and 45 minutes. There is a lot to read. One could take up to 4 hours to read everything. The security guards were courteous.
