Exploring the Legacy from Across the Street 6/22/07


A visit to the museum concludes in the Exploring the Legacy building across the street from the Lorraine Motel. Exploring the Legacy adds 12,800 square feet of exhibition space and connects the main campus of the Museum to the Young and Morrow building and the Main Street Rooming House where James Earl Ray allegedly fired the fatal shot resulting in the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Visitors stand and look out the still open window of the Rooming House to the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. This portion of the museum also has information on the various conspiracy theories about King's assassination.
