Memphis is where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, at the Lorraine Motel. This museum is located on that historic spot and has exhibits that follow 500 years of the history of the struggle for equality.
It is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. six days a week, and closed on Tuesdays.
The museum advises that visitors who begin in the final hour before closing should expect to have an abbreviated experience.

This East Memphis restaurant is one of the spots to eat soul food in the city. Order up the fried dill pickles, a Mempho in honor of Elvis (it's loaded with mac and cheese, pulled pork, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese and served on jalapeno cornbread), and top it all with an order of banana pudding.
