Memphis-Shelby County Juvenile Court will hold a limited number of trials and hearings beginning next week in an effort to reduce the number of children held in detention as a safety measure in response to COVID-19.

The National Civil Rights Museum, built on the site where Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968, has been the focal point of the local commemoration since before it was the museum, when it was still the Lorraine Motel. It is one of the busiest days the museum has in terms of attendance as well as visitors who come just for speeches and performances in the museum’s courtyard.
