The museum showcases more than 260 artifacts and features compelling events, from moving performances to appearances by renowned authors and important freedom fighters connected to the Civil Rights Movement. Special and permanent exhibits span an array of significant epochs, from the time of slavery to the Civil War era and Reconstruction, to the rise of Jim Crow laws that declared “separate but equal” conditions. The exhibits also showcase pivotal events of the 20th century Civil Rights Movement, such as the student sit-ins of 1960, the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 – 1956 and momentous speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr.
