Final Jeopardy Answer for April 16
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on April 16, 2025 is “What is the Lorraine Motel?”
The Lorraine Motel actually no longer exists, having been turned into the National Civil Rights Museum in 1982. Throughout the 1960s, the Lorraine Motel based in Memphis was the location of Stax Records. Famous artists like Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles stayed at the motel while they recorded there, but the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on the balcony of Room 306 effectively ruined the property’s reputation. This is despite many sightseers attending the location as a site of remembrance. Still, this ultimately turned the motel into a memorial and museum.
