WMC_Action_News_5_logoThe founder and CEO of the Official Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame says the group’s museum will be in Clarksdale.

Detroit; Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee; and Jackson also had been named as potential locations.

The Clarksdale Press-Register (http://bit.ly/1s5xEjh ) says the hall’s founder and CEO, LaMont Robinson, announced the decision Friday at Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club.

Mayor Bill Luckett says it’s exciting news. In a phone interview Sunday with The Associated Press, Luckett said the museum will be in a city-owned art deco building that used to be a Greyhound bus depot.
