4:42Now PlayingEarlier this year, historian Richard Norton Smith led a 10-day bus tour from Asheville, North Carolina to Austin, Texas. The group stopped at several presidential and historic sites along the route.
One of the stops was the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. The museum is on the site of the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King, Junior was assassinated in 1968. It opened as the National Civil Rights Museum in 1991; and 2011 marks its 20th anniversary. The museum's director of governmental and community affairs, Gwen Harmon, led the tour.
This program will first air in its entirety on C-SPAN's American History TV on Sunday, November 27, 2011.
