And of course visit Beale Street. So many different bars to visit and experience. I was surprised also how much I enjoyed Graceland! And Memphis. We went in the mid 90’s it wasn’t so racist as it is now.

The Lorraine hotel and the museum is so insightful. My husband still to this day talks about how visiting that museum changed how he felt about racism and bigotry. I am biracial and he’s white and never had seen racism so upfront. The bus in the museum stayed with him.
