An expansion project in 2001 added the Young and Morrow Building -- the former rooming house at 418 South Main Street where James Earl Ray fired the shots that killed King -- to the Museum. The exhibits in the Rooming House relate the events of the assassination, the Poor People's Campaign, and the legacy of the civil rights movement.
