Mavericks visit Civil Rights Museum in Memphis

Here’s the Dallas Morning News reporting that the Mavericks visited an important cultural spot Sunday before facing the Grizzlies Monday:

When the Mavericks arrived in Memphis on Sunday, they went directly to the [National] Civil Rights Museum for a private tour in advance of MLK Day.

“Every now and then, you have to remind yourself and educate yourself about the history,” Tyson Chandler said. “You got to look into his life and what it means. For me, it’s just being thankful that I live in a day that I can play this game I love, that I can go into restaurants, that I can watch my children go to a school that looks like a melting pot and have experiences that little black boys and little black girls didn’t experience in his time.”
