THE LUNCH COUNTER
The most talked about exhibit at the Atlanta Civil Rights museum is the Lunch Counter. It’s recommended that guests be 10 years old or over in order to experience this and here is why: Guests sit down at the counter, close their eyes and put on headphones to be transported back to a Woolworth lunch counter as an African-American participant in a sit-in. All around you is crashing glass and threats of physical violence. The bar stools bounce and rock in cadence with the heckler’s jeers. My 10-...
THE FREEDOM BUS
The Freedom Riders were a series of bus trips through the American South to protest segregation in interstate bus terminals. This exhibit is a bus wrapped with the mug shots of those who were arrested during the 1961 Freedom Rides. On the outside of the bus, you’ll hear first hand accounts of the rides. Take a seat inside the bus to see actual footage of the violence riders experienced during the campaign that eventually led to the desegregation of interstate transit terminals.

Some were threatened, others defame...

HUMAN RIGHTS IN ACTION
At the heart of all these efforts is respect for human rights, a set of globally accepted standards that are the birthright of all people by virtue of their humanity. These standards – called “the highest aspiration of the common people” – have helped transform millions upon millions of lives. The exhibits depict iconic human rights campaigns since the end of World War II and the brave and determined people who took a stand. Every year, the NGO Freedom House evaluates the level of political r...
Here you’ll find a rotating collection of items from the Morehouse College Martin Luther Jr. Collection, including personal papers (in an exhibition named Fragments) and items of Dr. King. I think the most interesting item I saw were the hand-written notes for his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize. I can just imagine him sitting in a chair...
