Museum, Memphis, TN
Bono
and U.S. Representative John Lewis of Georgia were honored
with Freedom Awards from the National Civil Rights Museum in
Memphis on October 18, 2004.
The day began with a public forum where Bono and Lewis spoke
with hundreds of students. "We've got a whole lot of marching
to do," Bono said. "This is the generation. This is the time.
Memphis, I believe in you."
Later, Bono toured the Lorraine Motel, which is attached to
the museum and is the site of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination
in 1968. It was then on to a press conference before the day
concluded with the banquet and awards ceremony honoring Bono
and Rep. Lewis.
@U2's Michelle Watson was on hand to photograph and report
on the event for @U2.
