You can relive history here by visiting the balcony and Dr. King’s room, restored as it was when he was here to support the Sanitation Worker’s strike. Through interactive multimedia exhibits you participate in the civil rights movement and learn its history from the 1600s through Rosa Parks and the freedom riders until today.
