| Article: | ‘She sobbed quietly’ In support of my good friend Demmie Raysor and her son Matthew, who plays football for the University of South Carolina, my family and I traveled to Memphis, Tenn. on Dec. 27 for the Liberty Bowl featuring the Gamecocks and Houston. Our stay was extended through Jan. 1 for several reasons. While the Bowl Game and activities on the famous Beal Street were amazing and the Gamecocks came home with a big win, those experiences did not compare to the experience of visiting the Lorraine Motel, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. |
