About this listen

 Audio Journeys are exploring the National Civil Rights Museum Memphis Tennesse. Forty-one years ago on April 4 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated as he was leaving the Lorraine Motel in Memphis Tennessee to join the city's sanitation workers' striking for better working conditions and pay. The Lorraine Motel was converted into the United States' National Civil Rights Museum.©2009 Travel Radio International Audio Journeys (TM) (P)2009 Travel Radio International Audio Journeys (TM) Adventure Travel Guided Tours

Editor reviews

Travel Radio International commemorates African-American history month with a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn. International traveler Patricia Lawrence takes another of her engaging "audiojourneys" by exploring the exhibits with one of the museum’s regular guides. They discuss how the museum came to be located at the former Lorraine Motel - site of the 1968 assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - as well as key episodes in American history from the original importation into the colonies of Africans to be slaves through the civil rights movement and its legacy.
