National Civil Rights Museum Visit

I really enjoyed the trip to the museum. It offered much needed insight into the history of the Civil Rights Movement. The actual walkthrough is nothing short of extraordinary. I feel it was strategically designed to help captivate those historical moments in time. Therefore, I was better able to grasp what was being put forth to me, almost as though I’d been there. The visuals, audio and other technical aspects did a lot to help give a perception of how things were during that particular time. The allusions were fantastic. I was particularly interested in the room that Dr. King and Ralph Abernathy shared, prior to his death. This is the scene whereas I can remember, and as with past visits including this one, emotions always take over. No Kleenex in sight! It felt surreal. I could barely compose myself. In the mist of it all, I wanted to get a gist of the type of people who would congregate at this sort of an event. True enough, they all seem to have a certain character about themselves. That is, that they embraced the concept of change and all that it has to offer. The displays and memorabilia were quite an attraction. I was able to receive take home information about many prominent citizens who earned their place in history. In the museum’s photography booth, I was also able to get a photo of myself which had this unique contract to seal the visit. I am definitely looking forward to returning there soon, along with exploring other wonderful sites that Memphis has to offer.
