Yosemite National Park
The moment you arrive there, you get in contact with the visual storytelling of California’s history. There are 1,200 square miles of ancient giant sequoias, that formed a mining land that drew people in droves to California back in the 19th century.
Whether you want to climb El Capitan or visit the well-known Nevada Falls, seeing this spectacular landmark is worth more than just a couple of hours of your time.
National Civil Rights Museum
The National Civil Rights Museum can be found in Memphis’s Lorraine Motel, the place where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.
Visitors can easily learn about Black history, from African enslaved people brought to the U.S. in the 17th century, to the Black Power Movement and all the relevant civil rights milestones that happened in between.
