An urgent and immersive journey through the unfinished business of civil rights. What once served as the Lorraine Motel’s opposite façade now becomes the movement’s modern-day front line, deeply rooted in the final chapter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s mission laid out in his 1967 book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Through five powerful thematic galleries, poverty, education, housing, gender equity, and nonviolence, visitors are invited to explore the structural inequalities Dr. King warned of and how those injustices still shape American life today.
