  • Very well done! Great stories and personal touches. I am very moved by it all. Too bad Dr King died so young! I think our country would be in a different place right.

  • This museum is exceptional. From the content, to the lighting, to the friendly and welcoming staff. I LOVE this museum, one informative employee shared that they will be expanding! Cant wait to see more. The videos were extremely well executed. We spent an equal time reading, watching, and listening. We also got a free ticket thanks to Bank of America so we only had to buy one. I can’t get over how emotionally engaging the exhibits were. I loved learning about all the freedom riders. Also the exhibit with telling the story of the four girls bombed at church was creative and very emotional, it reminded me of the Anne Frank museum where her dad reads from her book. It was very moving to hear and see. I highly recommend this museum. Beautiful experience
  • Very informative clean and thorough but I wish there were more interactive attractions. The majority of the exhibits is reading walls of information you can get online. There's a lunch counter exhibit where you can experience the struggles of segregation and feel the emotions of the past. I did find it interesting that a lot of the Civil Rights exhibits are in darker rooms whereas the human rights exhibits are well lit and upgraded with technology.
