civil rights museum

Justice movement memorial

A civil rights museum is an institution dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of struggles for equal rights, particularly the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

These museums typically feature exhibits on segregation, landmark legal cases, and key figures like Martin Luther King Jr.

We visited the civil rights museum in Memphis where King was assassinated.
