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..
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
+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
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.
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
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.

Im sure there were some who didnt come forward, not wanting to rock the boat. My understanding is there was another young woman who was arrested before Ms Parks, but Ms Parks was the best for the movement. P.S. Im so sorry whats going to happen to us (black & LGBT communities) with trump & the hate squad. Feels like it will never end. We will have to ban together, we are stronger together! #Trumphell
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🤣
They need to take better care of the site!! Just got back from a visit and felt the way the city has neglected the site is not only disrespectful, it's a reflection of how the city itself is on the path to ruin. This site is a SMITHSONIAN museum which means it even gets Federal support (!), probably diverted by city "leadership", which has proven it has the reverse-Midas touch. Clean the surrounding streets of liter. Take care of the landscaping. Replace the peeling, cracked, faded, torn plastic on the first main placard sign right in front of the balcony where the two cars are parked. Replace your employees with people who have enthusiasm, welcoming hospitality, and solemn sincerity. Shoo away the aggressive homeless beggars!
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 👍
If you believe James Earl Ray murdered Dr King I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Also the rifle in the museum in Memphis is not the rifle used in the assassination.
@nthnpark0 Yes, do some research on the subject follow the bouncing ball. It's all there in black and white. It makes me sick to my stomach two families destroyed at the same time. Pay special attention to Mr. JESSIE JACKSON'S INVOLVEMENT.
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!!!!!!
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'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.
Wow its March 1,2022. And I'm just seeing this.it makes you think. President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy, all murdered by Gun Shot. Only one Billet. Question is, was The right men caught. It's sad.we still have a long way to go. Peace, Love and Blessings to all. Vee j.
The average American that works full time, grinding like crazy for years just to survive, would never have the money to get a mustang, drive to Atlanta, Drive to Alabama, buy 2 rifles, drive to Memphis, drive back south, buy a plane ticket, fly to Toronto, buy another plane ticket, fly to London, buy another plane ticket, fly to Portugal, buy another plane ticket, and fly back to London…… yet an escaped convict had that kind of money. I agree with everything Ryan said. The guilty plea given, wasn’t an admittance of guilt. If he was a convict, he knew the long process and uncertain outcome. the recommendation to plead guilty, bc he’d more than likely get privileged treatment, felt like the best option to him. He rolled the dice, and it didn’t go his way. But I agree with Dr Kings friends, family, and ton of people. James was the fall guy. And it’s a shame that the evidence was ignored. More than 50 yrs later, racism has unfortunately boiled back over. We can’t change the past. We can only learn from it, make a better future for the next generation. Use it as a stepping stone,, instead of a weapon, to be brought out against someone else. If we want real change, we have to quit expecting it to come from the government, laws, reform, violence, creating organizations. It starts with each person. As MJ would say, The man in the mirror. We shouldn’t be fighting about black and white…. It’s about what’s wrong and right.
This is missing that he was on the phone with Dr. Phillips, which is WHY he went outside. Switchboard wasn't answering because they couldn't get through as Dr. Phillips was on the phone and told to hold the line by MLK Jr. She wonders everyday if she had hung up when Jesse Jackson told her to, if Martin would've lived.
