South Carolina Civil Rights Museum: Vanguard of History That Shaped America
The meaning of equality in America was sharply brought into focus on May 17, 1954 when the U.S. Supreme Court ended legal segregation in public education. Now, decades later, the South Carolina Civil Rights Museum interprets the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education and South Carolina’s key role in the origin of the American Civil Rights Movement with exhibits, artifacts, books, and photos not found elsewhere.
