I was struck by the amazing juxtaposition that is the USA that you can go from 3 stories of jump suits (love the visual reference to Jail House Rock) to such an important and defining moment in the civil rights all within the same area. 😮
Juxtaposition indeed. For Graceland I was straight up excited, for the Civil Rights Museum it was "I think this is something we need to go visit," but also with a sense of anticipation. Very different experiences, both very enriching in their own ways. Btw we also just finished listening to Colson Whitehead's "The Underground Railroad", really great book - I'd previously read, somewhat at random, Harlem Shuffle, as well as Zone One. Fantastic author, highly recommend!
I heard your squeal of joy from here when you finally got to see those jumpsuits!

Good job Craig and Craiholly 😂
Saw that very jump suit at Valu Village. Surprised that you missed it. ;-)
