My daughter\u2019s school organized a fifth-grade class field trip to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.civilrightsmuseum.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Civil Rights Museum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 which is located in the heart of Memphis &#8211; about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from our hometown of Nashville. \u00a0Due to our busy schedule, my husband Brad was excited to travel with our oldest (10-years-old at the time) while I stayed back with our younger two girls. I asked him to write about their experience visiting this powerful museum right here in Tennessee and I can&#8217;t wait to travel to Memphis soon to experience the museum for myself with our family later this year &#8211; especially since this year marks the 50th year since Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Read all about their incredible adventure visiting this space from my husband&#8217;s perspective:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1906 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230-225x300.jpg?resize=338%2C451&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230.jpg?resize=80%2C107&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5230.jpg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was a unique adventure because I got to travel, alone, with my oldest daughter and experience the National Civil Rights Museum for the first time myself &#8211; but also while observing my 10-year-old as she begins to learn and truly absorb this important piece of our country\u2019s history. The museum is impactful and powerful at any age, and I believe it is worth a cross-country drive, let alone a short drive from Nashville. \u00a0We are lucky to have this in Tennessee. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1904 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219-225x300.jpg?resize=338%2C451&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219.jpg?resize=80%2C107&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5219.jpg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tour is intense from the start and maintains this intensity using its unique way of storytelling. \u00a0We were brought along the chronological journey from the slave trade all the way to the assassination of Dr. King. Through the use of bronze sculptures, we were able to look into the eyes of defeated men trapped under the deck of a boat crossing the Atlantic, sit next to Rosa Parks on the bus and feel her need for strength as we saw &#8211; which my daughter commented on &#8211; the look of hate and anger coming from the bus driver. Using full-size replicas of vehicles, we were able to walk next to the Greyhound bus used in the Freedom Riders protest that was set on fire by the Ku Klux Klan. We walked by an enormous garbage truck that serves as a symbol for inequality where black workers died due to lack of safety standards. \u00a0This was the cause that brought Dr. King to the national stage in the civil rights movement. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1900 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168-300x225.jpg?resize=451%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"451\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5168.jpg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These storytelling tools brought us into the stories of the civil rights movement and allowed us to internalize them. \u00a0This seems especially true for children &#8211; and specifically my daughter &#8211; who are less inclined to read their way through a museum, I have found. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1901 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180-185x300.jpg?resize=278%2C451&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180.jpg?resize=185%2C300&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180.jpg?resize=768%2C1247&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180.jpg?resize=631%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 631w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180.jpg?resize=560%2C909&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180.jpg?resize=80%2C130&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5180.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great storytelling tool that the museum uses is, well, personal stories! \u00a0We were able to hear from many people that suffered through the Jim Crow era by picking up a telephone and choosing from people reflecting on their own experiences. \u00a0For example, one story tells of how a lynching in Mississippi moved him to become an activist. \u00a0Another woman tells of how she took a stand against sexual harassment in Arkansas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1902 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.comwp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872-300x225.jpg?resize=451%2C338&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"451\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?resize=768%2C577&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?resize=1024%2C769&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?resize=560%2C421&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_5185-e1515606726872.jpg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we were left at the end of the tour at the actual balcony of the Lorraine Motel where Dr. King was assassinated, looking into the room where he was staying at the time.
