    Martin Luther King was shot dead in the Lorraine Motel on April 4, 1968 on the balcony in front of room 306. Later, the motel was transformed into the National Civil Rights Museum, reminiscent of Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement.

      The only museum dedicated solely to the American civil rights movement. The museum is located in the former "Lorraine Motel", in front of whose room number 306 the black civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
