Lessons From Memphis. A comic that looks at history for inspiration to go forward.

I usually hate the scrolls-on-to-next-article thing, but a couple of the comics after this one in the scroll were also well worth the read.

I highly recommend everyone visit the National Civil Rights Museum.

Visiting Memphis? See Beale Street? Yes. Sun Studio? Yes. STAX? Yes. The Zoo? Yes. Catch a game at the FedEx Forum or AutoZone Park? Sure. But for crying out loud, visit the National Civil Rights Museum.

I'm a Memphian and I've never been to Graceland, but I've been the National Civil Rights Museum. [ I have been kicked out of a Graceland gift shop, though... ]

Nthing the National Civil Rights Museum. There's an antique bus in it, and when you sit down there's a "kicker" device under the seat that activates, with a recorded voice telling you to move to the back. Quite an extraordinary experience.
