It is a really well done museum. Having grown up visiting Montgomery all throughout the 70’s - 90’s when my grandparents were living, I was used to the downtown being all but deserted except for businesses. Montgomery was ashamed of their history for so long. It was wonderful to see them embrace the revolution they had birthed, and to own Rosa Parks as the great activist she was. It was great to really connect to the danger that people put themselves in to change the world. It was great to see a revitalized downtown where people of all colors came together to share in a spirit of pride. It really was the best of the South, the people that forced the change, and they are still there and still a part of shaping the world there.
