MEMPHIS, Tennessee -
In April of 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. traveled to Memphis, Tennessee where he stayed at the Lorraine Motel near downtown. On April 4th, Dr. King was shot and killed - on the hotel’s balcony. Today, the area is like a peek into history.
An old car sits out front and a wreath hangs above the car at the motel. The site is now home to the National Civil Rights Museum, telling the history of the fight for freedom, including the 1921 Race Massacre in Tulsa. A lot of people visit us to see the place where Dr. King was assassinated but what they don t realize is they encounter 400 years of history throughout their journey and their visit, said Dr. Noelle Trent, the museum s Director of Interpretation, Collections and Education.
The Finger Lakes region of New York is an important place in the history of struggles against oppression in the United States.
In 1848 the region hosted the nationâs first convention for womenâs rights, in Seneca Falls, at the northwestern end of Cayuga Lake.
Fifteen miles east is Auburn, which was a vital hub of the Underground Railroad, a network of escape routes for enslaved African Americans in the early to mid-19th century.
Auburn was the last home, and is the final resting place, of Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery and became known as âthe Moses of her peopleâ as a leader of the abolitionist movement generally and the Underground Railroad particularly.
