I hang this product on the radio volume knob in my car. I see it every day. Passengers ask what it is and I tell them, then I tell them about the National Civil Rights Museum. The more people know about the museum, the better.

This key fob represents the hotel where Martin Luther King was shot is a graphic reminder of the event and the location where it occurred. The iconic photograph following the shooting shows the hotel that's named is on the fob.
I think of this item to more of a conversation starter than a typical hotel key fob from the early days before electronic locks.
I use it in geocaches around the world and because of its' era appearance it sparks curiosity from all who find it. Once the spark of curiosity is made, then finders of this fob immediately go to Google to learn the background and are pleasantly informed and/or reminded of the event without being preached at.
