The Civil Rights Museum was phenomenal.

There's shitty parts like any big city, but it's definitely a good time.
So much this.

Seeing Dr. King's journey and the incredible work he did and the exact spot where he was murdered was so moving. A few months before visiting the museum I had started reading some of his works and he quickly became one of my heroes. His notion for brotherhood and acceptance among all people was extraordinary. That definitely made me appreciate the museum more but it's insanely moving if you don't know much about him.
