As for the motel-turned-museum, NBC's Ron Mott offered generous positive publicity to the Best Buy corporation for its use of the Lorraine Motel museum as a venue for its diversity training courses. Some 1,300 employees have been taken round the museum by Best Buy in the past four years, including 800 managers, in order to foster "a more family-like environment" in its workforce. NBC anchor Brian Williams urged his viewers to put the museum on their to-do list. Williams checked out the exhibit in room 306 with civil rights activist Al Sharpton, the organizer of much of the 40th anniversary remembrances. Williams said that the balcony outside "held for a long time, until it was washed away, a national stain" but he did not explain who did the washing and when. Sharpton also said a peculiar thing about the assassination: "King dying on this balcony led to America exploding. So for the first time we saw America officially saying that we are two Americas." For the first time? Sharpton makes no sense.
