National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis plans 'transformative' expansion and renovation
Taking a cue from the title of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s final book, "Where Do We Go from Here?," National Civil Rights Museum officials Tuesday announced an ambitious and "transformative" multimillion dollar renovation and expansion of its property on the west side of Mulberry Street, across from the main "Lorraine Motel" museum building and the preserved balcony where King was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
Architect Juan Self, who has been involved in every phase of the museum's design since its opening in 1991, said the expanded exhibit space and enhanced "civic plaza" aspect of its redesigned park would maintain the museum's status as "a place for truth-telling… no matter how uncomfortable," at a time when some politicians and pundits want to discourage frank discussions about the country's racial heritage.
Dr. Russell T. Wigginton Jr., museum president, called the project "a transformative moment" in the history of an institution that has attempted to honor King's legacy by being "a catalyst for social change."

Primary school pupils honoured movements held in the name of racial equality during an annual Martin Luther King Day march yesterday.
More than 100 children, staff and family members at Dalton E Tucker Primary School took part in the demonstration to mark the birthday of the United States civil rights leader.
Pauline Simons, the head of social studies at the school, said the demonstration helped remind students of those who fought for the freedoms that they enjoy today.
She said: “Sometimes we take a lot of these things for granted, so just letting them know that even simple things like going to school was segregated at one time.
“Even the supplies and various things that they enjoy now wasn’t available to them.”
Pupils made a presentation on the lives of past civil rights leaders before walking from the Southampton school to Maximart Supermarket in Hog Bay.
It is the tenth year that the school has held the event to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King.
