TAKE A JOURNEY TO JXN.

Jackson played a pivotal role in the movement that transformed America. While there are numerous cities that have a civil rights museum, Mississippi wanted to tell its own story, in its own words, and from its own unique experiences. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, the only state sponsored civil rights museum in the country, does just that!

Discover and explore the inspiring stories of Medgar Evers, Fannie Lou Hamer, Vernon Dahmer and many more who bravely led the fight for equality. Eight interactive galleries lead you on a journey of the Civil Rights movement. If luck is on your side, you may find yourself on a guided tour of the museum led by a civil rights activist.
