Great things to see, all over town. You just have to go find them. The strangest thing I would have to say is the woman who has been protesting the National Civil Rights Museum for over 18 years. When I went to take a picture of her, she turned her back on me. I find that odd, to be so against something, but not want to show your face. Other odd notes about her. She is protesting something that glorifys Martin Luther King Jr. and if anyone deserves that and their message to be preserved, it is him.
She also happened to be an older black woman who, while sitting there in protest, was listening to old Motown. It was just a surreal scene.The Lorraine Motel ( Where MLK Jr. was assasinated) has been preserved down to the cars they were driving are sitting in the same spot as they were all those years ago. The new pavement for the parking lot has been paved around the cars. Just being there was very emotional for both of us. It is a very heavy place, like a black hole that sucks the life right out of you. So much was lost on that day. We didn't stay long.
