When I visited the Civil Rights museum I was touched and moved to tears during my walk through.. Very moving place to visit.

[@jbncnow]

You should visit the liberty and justice for all section of the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn Michigan, better take a box of Kleenex

[@pommie5093]

I was moved to tears just watching the museum walkthrough and seeing the rooms that MLK and his group stayed in. I can only imagine how I would be, standing there in person.

[@newyawkgiants5877]

@@pommie5093 I highly recommend you visit on the 4th 6:01PM

Unfortunately this is apart of American history and all parts good, bad, and indifferent should be displayed. Im planning to take my liitle one here one day so that she can understand all Blessings and opportunities we are allowed now that not to long ago we didnt have and that you should never forget those that came before you. Im thankful that world i grew up in and the one she grows up in now is a totally different place. Thanks TCB!!

[@rolfathan]

Very well put. Thank you for posting this.

[@Inamichan]

I’m ashamed to say I never knew this was a museum. I live in Detroit so I’ve seen the real Rosa parks bus. I’ve been to MLKs church, grave, and home before but I’ve never been to the place he was assassinated. I do appreciate you going here and bringing my awareness to this place.

[@newyawkgiants5877]

I went to the 50th and didn’t make it this year 😢 I highly recommend it. They honor it every year.

[@debbiedunn4477]

That looks like an amazing museum. It is an important part of history we should all remember and never let happen again. Thank you for sharing this.

[@alyssar7477]

I was there back in December 2018 and I didn’t even know she was there. Honestly when I went there I didn’t really fully appreciate the museum and all of its content. I really wish I could go back and appreciate it so much more. I really regret that.

[@demih6695]

Thank you for stopping by to commemorate Dr King. Please come back to Memphis. There is so much history here.

[@mcwatersd]

What a sad piece of history. Thanks for a memory jog on a few things forgotten about the civil rights march. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

[@tori.doe.]

I remember my mother wanting to take me and my sister there so bad when I was a child...she couldn’t afford it but got me a book made by the museum with all of the photos and information. Now that I’m an adult with a little lady of my own I think it’d be awesome to take a family trip for these three generations. Thank you for sharing as always. Also thank you for sharing the info on the Anti NCRM boycott. Very interesting.

[@emmybear2636]

It is roughly 20 bucks per person now, for adults. 18 for students.

[@pussycatjackson]

I spent many school field trips at this museum. I grew up in a suburb outside Memphis and every kid has visited this museum at some point. Thank you for sharing a place I hold very dear to my heart.

[@SouthernDiscomfort256]

Please visit Montgomery AL. They have so many important exhibits.

Such a sad day for the history books and sad for America!. RIP Mr King.

[@yoshii2011xo]

It still blows my mind that something like this could happen/ be allowed and go on for centuries. Such a sad piece of American history.

[@katrin1love]

Thank you Jacob, I really appreciate your heart felt and respectable manner and kind narrative in this video, it shows me you are a very kind and fun human being.To make this video available to all to see those fateful moments in history. It brings tears to my eyes and a sensitive mind bogging understanding that I wish this was not real, but it did happen. Bro. Jacob you brought it to the fore front for us all to remember a little history of ourselves, no matter ones race. Thank you Brother Jacob, thank you!

Very good video. First time for me seeing the location Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. Also very surreal to see inside his room. Very fascinating story about Jackline Smith. Great job! One of my favorite videos of yours

[@melaniemincavage5382]

A part of history that never should have happened! But, we learn from these things so that they never happen again. Rosa Parks is my favorite civil rights person. She was so brave and strong to do what she did. MLK, you were a wonderful and brave man as well. I was brought up to love everyone the same. God Bless everyone who had to go through these horrible times.

[@ravynnegilmore5034]

Thank you for covering this on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jacob. It makes your American viewers of African descent feel included. Much respect! Small side note: We don't refer to the individuals traded for chattel as "slaves" but "enslaved people." Keep up the great content!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Thank you! I will remember that!

[@matthewstewart846]

This is intersectionalist semantic nonsense. Enslaved is a verb and slaves is a noun. Imaginary, performative value. The history of slaves receive no substantive agency by cheapening the conversation with this garbage.

[@andrewfyip]

@@matthewstewart846 "enslaved" seems to me anyway to be a more gentle reminder that we're talking about human beings.

Especially because they were literally "enslaved" against their will.

I visited Memphis a couple years ago and toured Graceland and The Civil Rights Museum. I was more impressed and moved by the Civil Rights Museum.

[@johnnyboy8831]

It's such a unique, and fitting memorial. I was taken aback when I was there. Thanks for all you do, Jacob!! Been a fan for years, keep up the great work, dude!

I live in memphis, and always stop on the grassy patch in front of the Lorraine when I'm downtown. The museum is a great, but really emotional experience. It's got a lot of really immersive exhibits and lot of information .

32 years on a protest that didn't work? Part of me admires her dedication, the other part of me questions her sanity.

[@Themakeupchair15]

yea like go home it didnt work and never will

[@katefarr2036]

I mean, in 32 years, she could have found herself a job and an apartment. Instead, she’s chosen to sit on a street corner and protest. And for what? Because she was kicked out of the motel? If they had torn it down, she still would have been kicked out. The reason why Memphis has turned much of Union Street and the surrounding area into a museum district is because Beale Street is, well, what it is. It attracts petty crime, and sometimes more serious crime. I have been to Memphis more than once. I have friends that grew up and LEFT. It’s a pretty city, but it’s not somewhere to explore after dark unless you’re with your peeps.

[@queencerseilannister3519]

She wasted her life. She didn't do anything to help other humans. She must definitely have mental health challenges.

[@conniecrawford5231]

There are many wonderful Civil Rights museums around the South- Greensboro, Atlanta, Birmingham?, etc - plus I the North like Cincinnati ! Try to visit at least one of them.

The Lorraine Motel is an excellent example of Googie architecture. Googie was a mid- 20th Century architectural style named after Googie's coffee shop in Los Angeles. Several famous Black artists such as Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway stayed at the Lorraine Motel.

6:08 while showing the room where he spent his last night you can hear MLK in the background saying “like anybody I wish I can live.. I’m not concerned about that now”

[@katefarr2036]

It’s a museum for a reason. It is a very stark reminder of what happened. And people STILL choose to ignore that. And to be honest? Having been on a ghost tour, we rode the trolley right past it, looked over, and until it clicked in my brain, it’s so unassuming, it’s shocking to realize that this little motel in downtown Memphis is where a great leader had his life cut short by absolute trash.
