Here is a photo I took of the Lorraine Motel which is now a part of the National Civil Rights Museum. The Lorraine Motel at 450 Mulberry Street Memphis, Tennessee is where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968.

This photo was taken in Memphis, Tennessee by me. Sun Records is a record label founded in Memphis, Tennessee, starting operations on March 27, 1952.
Founded by Sam Phillips, Sun Records was notable for discovering and first recording such influential musicians as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.
Amazing how such a little building turned out so many great artists and hits.
