Talk:National Civil Rights Museum

message: The [[National Civil Rights Museumlmd,m sfcmd
]] and Lorraine Motel articles are both short stubs about the same building. Both essentially contain the same information, so it seems reasonable to me to merge the two articles, with one left as a redirect to the other. I suggest that the article be at National Civil Rights Museum as that is the current name of the building.   JeremyA 19:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Lorraine Motel is not still the Lorraine Motel; it is now the National Civil Rights Museum. To paraphrase the current articles Lorraine Motel says that it was a Motel that is now the National Civil Rights Museum, whereas National Civil Rights Museum states that it is a museum that used to be the Lorraine Motel.

thread_title: Proposed merger

message: Shouldn't somebody mention that little old lady who lived in the Lorraine Motel and was kicked out to make the museum and sat in front of it protesting for years? Did she die eventually? It's been quite a while since I've been to Memphis. 84.12.85.141 21:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I reworded a lot of the work done by 66.162.20.126 to attempt to eliminate the bias there. I'd like to be sure that her protest is mentioned in a non-positive and a non-negative light here, because there are people who agree with her, and there are people who disagree with her. (I fall firmly in the latter camp, as I live two blocks away from her "site" and have much experience of her shouting racial epithets at me on a regular basis.) So while I agree that she should be mentioned, I think this needs to be very carefully done to avoid bias either way. -- Otto (talk) 17:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protest of Jacqueline Smith 

message: Much of the talk on this page is related to the presentation and removal of material directly related to the assassination of MLK. There's a dedicated page for that event; someone using Wikipedia to research the event would look there, first. It would be best to include information related to the event on that event's page. If the building has relatively little significance aside from its role in that event, then one would expect the building's page to be relatively short - serving primarily, perhaps, to get a searcher to the comprehensive page on the event itself. No?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.26.214.245 (talk) 05:16, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The Lorraine Motel itself is owned by the Tennessee State Museum and is leased to the Lorraine Civil Rights Museum Foundation. This is documented on the TSM website, and copies of the lease are publicly available. --Chiacomo talk 19:05, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ownership of the Lorraine Motel 

message: Removed a line stating 'Madeleine Draper is awesome, that is why Martin Luther King, Jr gave her a medal saying how awesome she is a minute before he was assinated.' Recommend locking article to prevent vandalism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.118.250 (talk) 05:07, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Vandalism 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :National Civil Rights Museum's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
