Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow me on Instagram and Facebook for daily updates and healthy travel tips.

After Nashville we drove to the blues capital. Nashville is hip and lively, but Memphis is the place to visit for American history, especially the civil rights era. It played a crucial role in the fight for equality for Black Americans and is the city where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. We had only one full day, but we packed it with meaningful stops.
