Pirates on tour
Three years of success on the football field have meant some great moments off the field for East Carolina’s football players.
From falling into hypnosis two years ago in Birmingham, Ala., to dancing at luaus in Honolulu, the Pirates have had their share of fun during their three consecutive bowl trips.
On Tuesday in Memphis, Tenn., it wasn’t about laughs and fun, but it was every bit as important as any appearance the Pirates have ever made.
The National Civil Rights Museum is a sobering reminder of the struggle for equality by blacks in America. From the famous Letter from a Birmingham Jail to the moment Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was felled by a single gunshot on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, the tour was a chance for ECU players to devote a couple of extra hours to education Tuesday.
Of all the visits the Pirates have made, none could be more important than this one.
The photos below show the exterior of the museum, built into the backside of the famous Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed. The museum includes the restored and preserved room in which King stayed, and the adjoining room that housed other civil rights workers. Photography is not allowed inside.
