We may soon forget our few hours at Graceland. We may even forget the Civil Rights Game. One thing's for sure: we will not forget our visit to the Civil Rights Museum. The museum is on the site of the Lorraine Hotel, where Dr. Martin Luther King was shot in 1967. Many people know where they were when JFK was shot; I remember like it was yesterday where I was when Dr. King was shot.

Inside, where I respected the policy of no video, you see the Freedom Riders' burned-out bus, the bus on which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and a replica of the lunch counter where a sit-in was staged to protest segregation. There are pictures, videos, artifacts and more.... Across the street is the spot from which James Early Ray, Dr. King's assassin, snuffed out one our nation's greatest heroes.

The Civil Rights Museum is worth the trip.
