Each December, the quests for civil rights and human rights intersect in Memphis – home of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Hotel (where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968).
Take pause during Universal Human Rights Month to learn more about the civil rights movement – a tumultuous and inspiring period of change in America – that continues to shape equality and freedom across the country and around the globe.
Together, King’s 60-year-old dream – “that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed…’that all men are created equal’” – can be realized.
