Happy Sunday! It's time for our first Historic Destination Spotlight.

📍 Stop #1: The Lorraine Motel | Memphis, Tennessee

As Featured in The Negro Motorist Green Book, the Lorraine Motel was more than just a place to stay, it was a welcoming refuge for Black travelers during segregation, offering safety, comfort, and dignity at a time when those were far from guaranteed.

The motel became a defining landmark in American history on April 4, 1968, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated while standing on its second-floor balcony. Today, the site has been preserved as the National Civil Rights Museum, where visitors can explore the history of the Civil Rights Movement, reflect on the sacrifices of those who fought for equality, and honor Dr. King's enduring legacy.

As we continue to celebrate the places that shaped Black travel and American history, the Lorraine Motel reminds us why preserving these stories matters.
