TBIH2020: National Civil Rights Museum

Talk with Terri Lee Freeman, Director of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, about the 50th anniversary program of Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination which earned the museum its National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2019. Interview by Viv Golding.
The National Civil Rights Museum, located at the historic Lorraine Motel where civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, chronicles the American Civil Rights Movement from 1619 to the present, and the world in transition because of it. Through its immersive historical and contemporary exhibits from slavery to Black Power, from voting rights to immigration, from Jim Crow to Dr. King’s last days at the Lorraine Motel, the museum examines civil and human rights issues, then and now. It’s the Power of Place, where history happened and is happening!
