Very moving memorial about lynchings in the US.Very beautiful and tranquil grounds.Please be respectful.

To Remember all the Heroes of the Civil Rights Movement

This is a memorial for all the documented lynchings. And the ones that were not documented. Very beautiful. And knowledgeable as well because everything is in alphabetical order so you can find whatever county in the south and see how they got down in the past. Sad how they did my people and we still have a ways to go

There are no words to describe this memorial. It’s a museum for everyone to see to understand the journey of African Americans in this country. Just like visiting the Holocaust museum my breath was taken away. This museum is huge, so I didn’t see everything but will definitely be going back.

I hope it is maintained better during non-covid times

Great Memorial. The outdoor water feature with the timeline is still relevant today

Although the center was closed im happy I got to enjoy this part of it. Very informative important moments of our history documented in a timeliness.

I enjoyed seeing it very sad but beautiful

Quick trip off of I-65 and totally worth it to see this and over to the Rosa Parks Museum and Library.

A window into the tragic past of the US and Birmingham, fantastically set up and awesome staff

Nice walk from the State Capitol. Lots of history in Montgomery.

I loved it! The design is very impactful and you get and idea of how the states have responded to the memorial and it is connected to the museum.

I was excited to finally visit this place and it did not disappoint. This museum has so much history as well as the town.

It is an emotionally outstanding place. Tears were brought to my eyes with each piece of information. The museum is not very big, but it is full of enriched information. It has a digital wall for people to add their names to the cause. Strict security when going in and it is very well taken care off.The March Continues...

Currently closed due to covid or renovation.

The kids have fun reading learning new facts and being able to put their name on the wall.

Love it. A visited with your children is due.

Good for a quick stop.

Absolutely a must see!!!! I am so happy that I went. I encourage all to go. They also have a nice gift shop with absolutely beautiful people working there.

Captivating and riveting experience. Beautiful place to visit and learn history. Perfect day trip.

This is an interesting memorial with a very reasonable entry fee. I learned nothing new but still worth visiting.

Lovely plays good locations great information I just wish that they had more in the museum as a whole you can get through the museum in about an hour I just wish it was a little longer with more facts but all in all it was a good experience

It was great and informative. It was a nice memorial.

Small museum honoring civil rights pioneer.

We stopped here on a trip on our way to Florida it was my best friend and my daughters.Beautiful time of reflection. A quite time to honor those who lost their life to make ours better. It did remind me of the memorial that was in Washington DC for the Vietnam vets. I was surprised to see the water coming down the wall as well as the granite fountain with the names on it.

The museum was nice but quite small. I went there expecting much more and found myself disappointed by the size. The museum is impactful for its size, harking to the phrase; big things come in small packages. It can easily be done thoroughly in an hour, I recommend you visit the Memorial and the Dexter Baptist Church in an afternoon. Those two sites combined really tell the story of Civil Rights Movements past and looking to the future. The water fall outside, that has a list of major events in the Civil Rights movement, was a favorite of mine.Admission is $2, Active Military and Children are free. They take debit and credit cards and also cash.

So we’ll done. Powerful exhibits that put a person in a place that requires them to think and be moved to help and educate others. I will certainly be bringing more friends and out of town guests over the years.

On our way back to Indiana we stopped at the Civil Rights Memorial, we did not have much time to visit more, but this site fit into our time schedule and I am so glad we stopped. The memorial out front was moving in itself but once inside, the memorial came to life. The 15 minute movie did a great job putting the names to faces and their story.

Stunning memorial. Free informative and interactive center. Plenty of nearby parking.

I like that this establishment isnt overwhelming. You can take everything in in about an hour, which is a good timeframe for a museum. Very moving experience.

Be aware the memorial is actually outside. We had gone inside without even noticing it. Well worth the visit and move/wall is sobering. Sad time in history.

Powerful! An important place for ALL Americans to visit!

Take the whole family to get the education and the experience, great stories and information Luved it..

I enjoyed every minute spent here. This was a very emotional and eye opening experience. I loved being able to add my name to the wall. If you are in town definitely visit.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has been protecting our society from hate for decades. Their movie and exhibit highlights 40 people who exemplify the Civil Rights cause against hate. Step up, take their pledge and be a vessel for tolerance!

This memorial is very moving. It has a video presentation and plaques with information about people martyred during the Civil Rights Era. Specifically between Brown v Board of Education and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to teach. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone exploring this dark period of American history.

Awesome. A must see. GREAT tour guide!

What a great memorial

It was a disappointing display of victimization in the form of pictures and art. There was not one thing uplifting or feelings of a hopeful future. MLK Jr would not find this display of hopelessness meaningful in the quest for equality and to build a society based upon content of each persons character It was however in one of the few clean places in Montgomery which in general seems to be a filthy and poverty stricken city. The pride in the Capitol and government area is not reflected outside that venue which is a shame for this once great and historic city.

Worth the visit. Learned a lot about the still going civil rights movement. Plenty of parking nearby if you come on a weekend. Admission very affordable.

Very moving and touching place. Take the time to read everything.

It was a very powerful museum that taught me much more about the Civil Rights Movement. It was really well organized and the information provided was fascinating. The exhibit gave the stories of 40 individuals who are remembered for their contribution to the Movement and their martyrdom. I would highly recommend this. The end of the exhibit was also great as it reminds people that the fight for civil rights is still going on and is not limited to any one group or area of the world.

No sense in missing this small museum if youre already in Montgomery..just know that the sculpture isnt there right now - they let you know that a part of the memorial isnt available, but it wasnt really clear until we got there AND asked repeated questions that the highly-praised feature is being stored offsite while repairs are being done to the area it was stored in. This is a mistake - the sculpture should be stored somewhere where it could at least be seen.The museum itself has some good features, but frankly, their website is better. The addition of your name to the display is great for kids. The staff are great, and the facility itself is small, but very well appointed. No wasted space, for sure.If the history of the CRM is new to you, then this is an informative little stop; particularly as it ties the condition of poverty to the struggle for rights for all.

It was very informative. A humbling experience. All should visit to truly understand history.

Please visit this place, feel the history, the tragedy, the inexcusable behavior towards a whole race. I cried & cried, just tore me up that humans could be that awful to other humans.

I enjoyed my visit at The Civil Rights Memorial Center.So much to see... I was in awe of all the displayed history. Only $2.00 for admission. Tour isnt as long as some of the other museums. It is a treasure find especially for children who wear out easy.What a learning experience for all generations!!Friendly staff of people.

Children 17 and under are free and adults are only $2! It only takes about 45 minutes to see everything and its well worth the visit. Very informative!

Everybody needs visiting this place

The tour was very informing and eye opening.

Small and quick but still a good reminder of American history

Run by the SPLC. There is a wonderful monument outside designed by the same woman who did the Vietnam Wall. A water feature with names and key events from the civil rights struggles carved into it. Inside there is a substantial display with photos and brief summaries of the 40 people murdered during the early movement along with other quite helpful educational materials about the times. There is also a nice short film in a modest sized theater. A mandatory stop for anyone wanting to learn all they can about the Movement.

What an awesome, inspiring place. I cried through the video, at the senseless murders then, and still today. This is definitely worth a visit.

More than we expected for $2 for each adult over 18 years of age! Children under the age of $17 was free! I feel blessed!

I loved it! The guide was so knowledgeable. It added a great deal to the experience.

Great tribute to the ongoing battles here in the USA. Affordable for everyone.

Sad but beautiful

Incredibly moving. Photo displays shocking.

Beautiful memorial and very informative. Must visit!

Great initiative for the city to establish this important memorial.. Shocking to see how recent all the events occurred and how it is basically still going on..

This place was wonderful. The history of our country is so diverse. Its amazing to see how far we have come and what our ancestors indured.

My advice is that you double-check to ensure that the facility is open before you try and go regardless of what the website says. My mother has been wanting to go to this museum for a few years now. My husband and I drove all the way from Maryland for a family gathering to make sure she could go. We confirmed via the website that the museum would be open. We get there only to learn that it is closed; was never really told why. Seems like a public relations/marketing gaffe that really could have been avoided by simply noting on the website that the museum would be closed today. Extremely disappointed.

Outstanding visit. I particularly liked that they didnt spend a lot of their time on White people! They focused on what the Black individuals had experienced and had done to correct the inequities

I really enjoy visiting here.

The Civil Rights Memorial was educational. I learned things about the segregated south that I did not know happened. It makes you think about what people endured and what they eventually overcame just to be equal.

Small but mighty. Take you time here. It’s a work of art and incredibly powerful storytelling exhibit.

A tribute to martyrs of the cause of civil rights. Worth a look and only $2!

Educational and inspiring

Extremely moving. Great video tour

The memorial is well organized and more than informative. It is an encapsulated experience from the past to the present of the documented injustices around the world. It is a vivid reminder that the FIGHT against injustice is the responsibility of all.

Field trip with my son and his fourth grade classmate, we were given allot of great insight and our tourist was great

It was quite moving seeing our past through all eyes...where it began, continued and is still continuing. Being able to share in one anothers presence, and share in the motivation for love and joint efforts was merely astounding. This is a MUST SEE when taking trips. Staff was pleasant, and able to answer questions about history. Being able to sign an agreement with them, and see yourself as a helper in their efforts, brought me so much joy. Thank you for opening my eyes.

My family and I stopped here while visiting Montgomery. The museum justly memorializes more than 40 citizens who died during the civil rights area. The outdoor memorial was under construction during our visit so we didnt see it but all in all I reccomend visiting.

Great place to take the family and learn

I loved this place. They have so much to offer sadly the water memorial is under construction. But it was breath taking.. they also have a wall where you can pledge and see your name on a wall.

I am beyond grateful for this place. Inexpensive, memorable, soul changing, and beautiful.

Informative spot, only $2 entry

It is important to learn from history.

Enjoy the museum the young man who was our guide was great he knew the information on all the people.

Such a well done memorial of our nations history and civil rights journey. We enjoyed walking through and talking through the exhibits with our children. Inexpensive, and worth the time to visit.

Small but very moving. Learned a lot about how appalling people can be to others.

A beautiful reminder of ugly history. We have to do better for the human race. We have to be better.

Its a somber and chilling experience, but enriching and worthwhile.

Great place to go and learn of the many untold stories of civil Rights movement. A must if youre visiting the city.

This was an amazing experience that should be visited. Its moving, emotional, and humbling. We went as a part of a feild trip and I am glad I got to enjoy learning about history and some amazing people that risked everything. We will go back.

Powerful place to be. Loved the atmosphere here. Will come again.

This place is unbelievable I learn so much during my visit there. You must go.

Very educational and really shows you what this country has been through and still have left to go.

Very informative. Very touching.

It is worth every second. It is must go. You will not be disappointed!

This has been one of the greatest experiences I have had.To learn how others before us fought for freedoms. To be treated equal as one not three fifths of a person. To stand united for a cause of equality and righteousness. I am encouraged to continue on with the fight for equality for all!

Geat place to visit.

How did the south loose Im disappointed

Black history. My history. Very much educational.

I must continue to heed the call given to me by God so that I will honor the ancestors.

Beautiful place and very moving to see the names carved into the stones in the front of the building.

If I was into history. Would be better.

Very informative. There was a lot of people that I have never heard of.

Everyone that stops in this town should go visit this musuem. Its educational and really touched your soul ( no matter what race or religion). They have a small gift shop and you will find something you like as a reminder. Very nice people.

This place tells story of the people who have their all for the right to vote. As things in this land of ours.

Azmazing tragic memorial of the civil Rights struggle. Such a wonderful tribute to those who fought and perished in pursuit of equality.
