Two New Tours Explore African American History in Memphis
The longer driving tour starts in the parking lot of the National Civil Rights Museum and winds through some of Memphis’ most important musical and historical landmarks. The tour goes to Booker T. Washington High School (the alma mater of many prominent Memphis musicians), historically black Lemoyne-Owen College, the Soulsville neighborhood (home to the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Royal Recording, and the former homes of Aretha Franklin and Memphis Slim).
