Civil rights movement landmark Clayborn Temple has burned to the ground. Firefighters were called to MLK Avenue and Hernando Street about 1:30 this morning. The building is said to be a total loss.
The building was a key gathering place in the sanitation workers’ strike of 1968, a strike which brought Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Memphis.
