Reviews
"Took my 22 year old sister...I love museums and history. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone should go at least once in their lifetime!"
"I've always wanted to see this place. I'm a big history buff, and this place was on my bucklist. MLK was a great man and had so much more to teach before he was taken from us. I stopped by after dinner and walked around the outside. I didn't get a chance to visit the museum. That will be my next stop."
"What an Incredible experience! Please make this an item on your bucket list ( behind Graceland of course, our reason for being in Memphis). Very interactive and emotional. They did a wonderful job with museum. We did not have tickets in advance, we went on Elvis's birthday, and there were just a few field trips because MLK Jr day was the next Monday."
"This was an amazing experience. It took about 1 1/2 hours to go through the museum. It was very historical in regards to covering civil rights. Not just all MLK but rather the history and movement. I would suggest taking this in if you get to Memphis. I’ve always wanted to visit and so glad I did."
