| Comments |
| "It was a very awe inspiring feeling
to be standing at the assassination site of one of the greatest
Americans to ever live." -Kristina Riordan |
| "I can assure anyone that the realness
of this place was effective. I felt I was in the presence
of true greatness. I had not even entered the museum when
a sudden feeling of speechlessness came over me." -
Reem Assil |
| "Here I first felt the awareness I was
standing at a place where the history of the Civil Rights
Movement was written, it was a strange feeling. I was literally
left breathless with it. ...I gazed up at the balcony. He
stood there. He rested his fingertips on that metal rail...
And he died there..." -Kate Fiorucci |

Lincoln-Sudbury Regional H.S. will soon have a brick in this memorial
walkway, just out side the entry of the National Civil Rights Museum/
Lorraine Motel.
