Today marks the 25th anniversary of the opening of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. The National Civil Rights Museum is located at the former Lorraine Motel, the site of the tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. From that horrific incident rose from the ashes a phoenix in a wonderful story of the efforts and the achievements of many--both Black and White--to achieve a more perfect union in the civil rights for people in this country. Mr. Speaker, I urge everybody who has a chance to go to Memphis and tour the civil rights museum and pay tribute to the civil rights soldiers who made America more what it was intended to be and make it a more perfect union. ____________________
