Gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement which catapulted great changes throughout the nation. As visitors tour the museum and its eight interactive galleries, one cannot help but be inspired by the individuals who struggled and fought against oppression in the name of freedom and equality. Open Tuesday through Sunday, the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum hosts exhibits focusing on how Mississippi started the nationwide Civil Rights Movement from 1945 to 1976. While the museum charges an admission fee, children three and under have free admission, and discounts are offered to the youth, seniors, and military. If you can, try visiting on Sundays where admission is free for all ages.
