Howdy ya’ll!! Well we’re finally here in Memphis on the second night. I apologize to all of you subscribers to this fine blog; I won’t have you wait like that anymore, trust me (the first hotel didn’t have wifi or towels…) Anyway, glad to have you! Today we started off with mass at Kirby Woods Baptist Church where we were warmly introduced by the pastor and many other kind individuals. Afterwards we wasted no time and had a little site seeing on Beal Street.
The main focus today was our trip to the National Civil Rights Museum. We had an audio guided tour that explained the progression of human equality and the growth of the Civil Rights movement. As many of us stated afterwards, seeing the balcony where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated was truly a humbling experience that resonated in all of us. For dinner we enjoyed Hard Rock Cafe and later enjoyed downtime where most of us spent exploring more of Beal Street. Overall, today was a brilliant day that allowed us to learn so much about such a vital part of our American history.
Join us here next time ladies and gentleman as our expedition endures!
