I knew Ryan personally before he told me that he worked at the museum. This brother is gifted with knowledge of your history. Black history IS American history.
I did not know that about the phone operator wow that's crazy this is so detailed I stumbled upon it glad I viewed it hopefully I'll get to visit the motel one day..
I visited this museum in the 6th grade about 15 years ago and it was so amazing and interesting. I hope to go back someday! This young man did an amazing job explaining our history! I was so drawn in and intrigued ! I hate that the video ended! I really enjoyed watching!
A great tour. I visited the motel in 1988, when it was boarded up and in terrible disrepair. Great to see the education offered by this vitally important museum.
I still want to visit this museum because I will be able to Thank him for giving us real freedom and letting him know i was able to be apart of history watching the FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY get sworn into office!!!! I am so proud and thankful and hope to see another blessing made in history for us is the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT!!!!Thank You for this video😢😢😢☺
nitro4117 I just don't think the word ignorant is fair to say that is why I would vote for a woman I want the best person to be commander and chief of this country and with fairness to all people and I would vote for whoever has the ability to handle all race of people and their concerns. ....I'm not voting just because she is a woman
Ryan Jones you are superb! I love your passion, your knowledge, & your ability to share so eloquently. I kept on watching you thinking that how you share is a beautiful service to Dr. King's message, memory, & our collective history. What a wonderful & brilliant young man you are.... I want to see this museum!
Ryan Jones is a seriously well educated and informed presenter of this historical information!!!! He needs to be in an important position in the current movement that is occurring today, and I would totally support him in that position!!!!! Thank you for presenting him to us here at home in video land because we can't get out into the actual world at this time in our current state!!!!!!
Such a wonderful tour! I do still want to get there in person.....it will be on my bucket list :-) MLK was a great man. I so wish we could live in the world he advocated for. There is so much anger in the black community and politics does nothing but bring race to the forefront - distorting it! Dr. MLK would not be happy to see what is happening in this nation today. If we'd ALL look at out fellow man as God wants us to we'd live in a wonderful place. Sadly, I fear I won't ever see that place.
Thank you for your story. It is like reading a book to me. I listened and it is true. You are correct, for me to know were I am going I do need to know were I've been. When I hear whatever it is I need to hear I will know. What I heard you saying is like a caring gentle story to my ears and I like it. The museum reminds me of a lady that lived next to me. All things remain the same and in place, nothing ever changes for eternity. You always know were things are and not to touch anything.
I hope to return. I, along with my family, stopped here in the mid 1990's during my college years. I see it has grown extensively since then. The tour guide is amazing! Congratulations to that young brother.
I just watched and I truly enjoyed it. You spoke very well. Thank you for more information that I wasn't aware of. You really know your stuff. I will continue to watch and learn. Thanks 👍
Bayard Rustin (MLK's mentor & right hand man) was the first black man to be arrested for refusing to give up his seat on bus not rosa parks. Miss Parks was used as a poster girl for the cause cuz Bayard was also a gay man. This museum doesnt feature Rustin cuz he was a gay man. Civil rights is for LGBTQ ppl also
@thomas riner working your way through comments in an attempt at making others angry I see. Very poor trolling. Keep it shut and fuck off. Your Mother will be angry with you for stopping online for so long.
Actually, it wasn't, because, just like Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray,.......was a PATSY!!!!!!! He was ON HIS WAY to Memphis, when Dr. King, was MURDERED!!!! It's public record now, look it up.
+Brandon from Kentucky you cant be serious! the Prez of the USA is black!!!! I think that is a step in the right direction! look at all the multi millionaire pro athletes and actors and movie stars!!!!!
Now there are no law that go against people of color. It is very hard for the government to do anything against racism since they can not put many laws in place to stop racism
articulate, tour guide. he is incorrect though, at 14:50sec...of the test on the rifle indicated it did not fire that bullet, if that was so--the case would of been re-opened. so that "is" incorrect. just 'saying. i was a criminology major and read about this, the test in, i believe, 1994 indicated "inconclusive" if that was the rifle that fired the, fatal round.
winnerswebnetwork Young man is super bad. See what we can do black people. He didn’t die to see us killing each other. And all the other bad things that’s going. On. Let’s come tighter. Before it’s to late. I feel so bad. When I look at the news and see our race. Gone wild🤣
We are African Americans that only come together when something bad happens this is sad we gotta start helping each other instead of putting each other down start opening our own business and employing our own white people employ white people open your eyes see what's going on the system fight against us in all categories
I've been there 11/ 10/'23. So glad I went there & spent 2.5 hrs. there. Could have easily spent 4+ hrs. there. Wanted to get back with the Saints at the 115th Holy Convocation. I thank God the C.O.G.I.C. was very involved with Dr. MLK. Also I found out Emmitt Till's funeral was held at a Church of God in Christ church in Chicago.
The way this man told Martin Luther king story is so amazing....
I knew Ryan personally before he told me that he worked at the museum. This brother is gifted with knowledge of your history. Black history IS American history.
YES, they should change the name to American History, cause White people were definitely there and involved!!!

How can this man tell a story without studdering......man he is good

Yes
I didn't know about the front desk lady and the heart attack
Devonte' Collin me either
I read up on her I just never knew she had a heart 💓 attack
SAME HERE
Visited this museum yesterday, it gave chills being around all this history.
OMG this man is so well spoken 👏🏾
OMG. What do you mean by that ? That sounds so clozet Racist.
I want this guy as my history teacher !!!!
this dude knows his stuff he telling the story as though he was there 😂😂
Except that the first Africans arrived in Jamestown as slaves. They were actually indentured servants.
I’m watching in 2019 June 5
No he doesn't. The owner died of a stroke not a heart attack.
A historian always told us in class that history is spoken not in the past nor future but in the present.
Heart warming, proud moment!
I did not know that about the phone operator wow that's crazy this is so detailed I stumbled upon it glad I viewed it hopefully I'll get to visit the motel one day..
Ciara Jackson MY family had the opportunity to visit the museum today. It was AMAZING THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! YOU MUST GO AND VISIT
I went years ago and it was a great experience. I told my fourth grade class about it but I got in trouble and couldn’t go that time. The irony!! 😂🤣
This is definitely on my bucket list.
I’m just in tears listening to this man give so much detail and knowledge. This so much history in Memphis I really need to go.
See how they skip all this in school smh
Crystal S. Right
Crystal S. Nah they teach this today
Actually I learned all this in school so........ maybe you just needed to patient more
Crystal Yin RIGHT!!!
@Jason shouldve payed attention in history instead of throwing paper planes and bad talking the teacher
The guy in I AM A MAN shirt was my tour guide when i went to the musem a month ago!!!
Queen Dragon amazing
Amazing he is very knowledgeable im learning what they didn't teach in school wow.

you must be ignorant to think Hillary should be elected just to have a woman president

Well done and very educational! Thank you.
Watching this in 2020. Ryan’s extensive knowledge on black history is very impressive. Not once did he stutter.
Good job. I learned a lot.....
I went there and I mean looking back watching this now makes me wanna cry cause I understand this all now
I live in memphis so many things happend here
Wow ! This awesome . I would love to go to Memphis and visit the museum.
This amazing man told it easily for a 6yr old can understand
This young man did a very awesome job .

Damn didn't know the operator dies of a heart attack from this. Wow!
This young man is super smart you can just tell by the way he talks
excellent tour guide, I'll have to go do the tour. hope he's still there to do it.
@thomas riner Again, keep your mouth shut little boy. You have a lot to learn.
Wow his knowledge is amazing. I know he loved history class 😁
So glad these guys are standing side by side talking imagine if this were 50 years they would not talk at all thank u dr king
Something tells me that the National Civil Rights museum would be an awesome place to visit.
I hope to return. I, along with my family, stopped here in the mid 1990's during my college years. I see it has grown extensively since then. The tour guide is amazing! Congratulations to that young brother.
I live in Memphis! And I’ve been there nonstop!
When I was in Memphis in 1990-91 it was just a run-down Motel it wasn't a museum yet and his room was actually Glassed Off.
That was one accurate ass shot! Seems like a highly trained person done that. Rest Up Dr. King 👑
I just watched and I truly enjoyed it. You spoke very well. Thank you for more information that I wasn't aware of. You really know your stuff. I will continue to watch and learn. Thanks 👍
I love history especially civil rights history Thank you Martin Luther King Jr.
I really enjoyed this! Great Job!
AND THE DREAM STILL LIVES
My favorite part of Museum is Rosa parks bus
Bayard Rustin (MLK's mentor & right hand man) was the first black
man to be arrested for refusing to give up his seat on bus not rosa
parks. Miss Parks was used as a poster girl for the cause cuz Bayard was
also a gay man. This museum doesnt feature Rustin cuz he was a gay man.
Civil rights is for LGBTQ ppl also
@thomas riner working your way through comments in an attempt at making others angry I see. Very poor trolling. Keep it shut and fuck off. Your Mother will be angry with you for stopping online for so long.
The guy that killed mlk had 99 years of prison and that is good
100* ;)
Actually, it wasn't, because, just like Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray,.......was a PATSY!!!!!!! He was ON HIS WAY to Memphis, when Dr. King, was MURDERED!!!! It's public record now, look it up.
THIS GUY IS A PROF IN CIVIL RIGHT ACTIVITIES. HE'S INDEED A GOOD ANALYST WHO CAN TEACH ALL IN ONE...
This was fantastic. I loved it!
Great job young man!
How far have we come since the Civil Rights Movement? With all that's going on today. I feel we have taken a few steps back since the 60's.

He is a great narrator!!
Amazing story teller
I WENT THERE YESTERDAY
He's amazing
In 2022. I’m looking at this. This young man know his stuff.
The King family fought for years to have Ray's name cleared...even they didn't believe he did it.
We are African Americans that only come together when something bad happens this is sad we gotta start helping each other instead of putting each other down start opening our own business and employing our own white people employ white people open your eyes see what's going on the system fight against us in all categories
We also have to start using punctuation. Geesh.
You can tell that young man loves telling the story...

Thank you about the life of Martin Luther King this man was a good Legend I want you to do another story about other people

Wow, this guy knows his history 👏
We must never forget!!! But we must teach our children amen.
Dr King is Beautiful man! One of our greatest founding fore fathers.. peace/Love
Wonder if you could stay in the other rooms at the motel ?
This young man knows his history!

Great history lesson, but what's sad is no one can really have a voice unless something tragic happens.
