Official Travel Stamp Vinyl Sticker

Planning a trip? Check out the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel website.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. often stayed at the motel when he visited Memphis. His murder at the property on April 4, 1968, is seared into the American psyche. Flowers mark the spot on the balcony where MLK was felled by an assassin’s bullet. Interactive exhibits, artifacts, films and interviews detail centuries of civil rights struggle.
