A YEAR of special events in Memphis will mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
The civil rights leader was fatally shot at the Lorraine Motel in Tennessee on April 4, 1968.
Now the National Civil Rights Museum, this landmark museum chronicles the American Civil Rights movement.
Here comprehensive exhibits showcase several hundred artefacts and interactive media displays cover five centuries, from slavery in America and the Civil War to the 20th-century Civil Rights movement and modern-day issues.
The MLK 50: Where Do We Go From Here commemoration reflects on the past, evaluates the present, and proposes solutions for the future on the issues Dr King was most concerned about during the last years of his life - poverty, fair wages, affordable and safe housing, quality education, justice and peace.
