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.

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.

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

I would recommend visiting if you're in the area. It was small but nicely done throughout.

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.

While in Montgomery for work, I visited the Civil Rights Memorial the weekend before Election Day, in the heart of the Confederacy, where some monuments still stand. The 'Traveling While Black" exhibit is a virtual reality experience, allowing you to sit in on conversations at Ben's Chili Bowl (a safe haven for Blacks), as we weren't welcomed in restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc. on our journeys. It'll be open until January. Stirring, haunting presentations of this country's racial struggles were admittedly hard to watch, but this visit was needed. Though hurtful, it's necessary to see where we've come from to forge the path toward equality and justice for ALL. The division I see daily makes me sad for humanity, but I know there is hope. Change starts with ALL OF US. Let's purposely show that we matter to each other!

You can add your name to the wall, watch 2 informative videos, and learn about innocent lives lost.

Beautiful memorial! Valuable experience for all ages. The way that the Southern Poverty Law Center does a fabulous job curating such an important history. The videos were super engaging and well produced. It’s a super interactive space. Small but mighty!

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

Excellent museum/memorial. Very moving displays and movie. $5 entry fee, very quiet and no wait when we went on a weekday morning during Thanksgiving week.

Definitely everyone should experience the civil Rights museum.

Very cozy and modern. A must see museum if you want to know more about the civil right movement!

it's a small building but nice ac cold on a hot day they changed us 12 dollars to get in .

At this time memorial is closed and water fountain is being renovated. Closed to public. Times past students on my tour would love to place their hands on the names inscribed and remember the people the fountain honors.

My visit to this great city could not have been better. I would recommend that this historical memorial be added to middle/high school field trips. The educational value is IMMENSE !!! I was moved by the exhibits and video in the theater. The black granite memorial is a FINE piece of art. WONDERFUL !

Disturbing and a must-see piece of American history. The civil rights march continues and is far from complete. Well worth a visit along with many other Selma and Montgomery sites and museums.

I really enjoyed myself and really appreciated it. My uncle in law Lamar Smith killed in Brookhaven in 1955 sadly was listed in the museum as a activist

I've been trying to visit since it opened. So glad to have finally made it on MLK Day this year. Stunning.

It's small and not worth visiting. The best part is outside, and that can be seen for free.

This Memorial Center is very educational, The visual displays and movie clips are very educational and the museum guide/narrator is very knowledgeable, she explained the historical events very well.
