This has got to best the most historical persentation of the civil rights movement in the United States. It is a "must see" spot for every American who lived during those these times and for the ones that have just heard about them.

A Must See

I wasn't able to do the tour but just being outside the L. Hotel was amazing. Seeing a true piece of history makes you think on the positive side of life and realize how blessed we really are.
OMG, this place is awesome. I really wasn't expecting what I got. I did the audio tour with Rubie Dee & Ossie Davis doing the narration. It was awesome. There was so much information. The part across the street that gives the timeline leading up to Dr. Kings death is so detailed.
It is a must see for everyone.
