Meaningful Reflections from Our Visitors
“Incredibly informative. Lots to see, learn and be challenged. Moments of overwhelming emotion that serves of a reminder that we should all be instruments of justice.”
Joan Bailey
“This [Lunch Counter] was an experience for my daughter and I, we both talked about holding back tears!! My daughter was speechless to learn about these brave young North Carolina A&T college freshman!”
Toy Stevenson
“What a powerful experience this was! The lunch counter evoked so many emotions; fear, horror, anger, and an immense sadness. I couldn't sit through the whole thing, I broke down. I highly recommend this museum for everyone!”
