The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum opened in December 2017 and is the only museum of its kind in the state. Exhibits cover the entire Civil Rights Movement, but particular attention is given to the murders of Medgar Evers and Emmett Till and their role in bringing the movement to the forefront of American life.
