Established in 1925, the Lorraine Hotel was a typical Southern Style hotel accessible only to whites. By the end of World War II, the hotel had become a black establishment serving blues performers and other notable figures of the time.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was staying at the Lorraine Hotel and in the process of planning a civil rights march for the unfair working conditions against black workers when an assassin shot and killed him on the balcony of his room in the motel. This unfortunately put the actions for the civil rights march to a halt. In 1991, the Lorraine Hotel was converted into The National Civil Rights Museum. This is an intricate way to experience the history of the city, so don't miss out.
