The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee is housed at the Lorraine Motel, the site where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. It provides a broad overview of the American Civil Rights Movement from slavery to the present and has welcomed millions of visitors since its opening in 1991, including a significant number of student groups. As a Smithsonian Affiliate, the museum has earned national recognition, including the 2019 National Medal Award from the Institute of Museums and Library Services. Operating as a mid-sized cultural institution in the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, it seeks to document civil rights history, educate the public, and illuminate the ongoing struggle for human rights. Recent developments include the Legacy Experience, slated to launch in May 2026 as part of renovation efforts, and partnerships with organizations such as ArtFlow Studio and OUTMemphis, alongside ongoing programs like the Ruby Bridges Reading Festival.
