Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis‚ Tennessee during Spring Break. As I read through MLKJr’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail‚” I could not help but feel chills. I reflected on how only a piece of glass separated from me from entering his hotel room that he stayed in the night before he passed away.
