In 1991, the National Civil Rights Museum opened in Memphis, Tennessee. The museum is built around the Lorraine Motel, the site of the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Many dignitaries attended the museum’s dedication that year, including Governor Bill Clinton. He is shown here escorting civil rights leader Daisy Bates on a tour of the museum galleries.
