What happened to the Lorraine Hotel<\/h3>\n

The infamous hotel balcony where King was shot is in front of room 306 which was then the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. In the 1960s, it was a welcoming destination for many African Americans who were otherwise unable to find a room there. Today, it is the home of the National Civil Rights Museum<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination, they are celebrating the newly renovated museum with new exhibits, historic collections, multimedia and so much more. Special events and speakers are regularly scheduled to keep the spirit alive. If you are in that neighborhood, take a walk through history and an era of change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
