OPENING DECEMBER 1, 2025:
Seventy years ago, on December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks changed the course of history with
a single act of courage on a Montgomery bus. Yet much of her story remains untold.
This exhibit showcases facsimilies of many items from her personal collection that highlights her long life of social justice activism. Rosa Parks: A Lifetime of Being Rebellious also serves as a teaser of future museum plans. We have an extraordinary opportunity to partner with the Library of Congress to bring a significant portion of Mrs. Parks' personal collection home to Alabama.
Exhibit runs December 1st, 2025 through December 19th, 2026.
Community Gallery
We are currently hosting the projects from the 9th Episcopal District of the AME Church's Masters & Debutauntes student organization. This is an annual project with students from the 9th District as part of our Junior Curator series.
*This exhibit is in honor of long-time museum supporters and partners Lamar P. Higgins and Rev. Dr. Cathey Bruce.
We recently showcased the projects from our Architects of Change summer day camp and their participation in the first-ever Story Circle Program in the United States. We partnered with Heartstone U.K. for their long-running program that focuses on The Heartstone Odyssey by Arvan Kumar. This program was integrated into our broader summer camp curriculum designed to teach students about the power of nonviolent social change, focusing on the American Civil Rights Movement while drawing parallels to global struggles for justice.
