On Friday, the Most Southern Place on Earth workshop headed to Memphis, Tennessee. Along the way, the group stopped in Clarksdale to visit the Greyhound Bus Station and witness the physical remainders of Jim Crow: separate waiting rooms that once divided black and white passengers. After arriving in Memphis, participants went first to the Cotton Museum, then to the National Museum of Civil Rights at the Lorraine Motel. There they had the unique opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the collections. The evening concluded with the traditional march of the ducks at the Peabody Hotel.
