The centerpiece of Montgomery’s civil rights landmarks is without a doubt the Rosa Parks Library and Museum located on Montgomery Street.

This grippingly, fascinating museum contains permanent exhibits that chronicle the first twenty years of the civil rights struggle, beginning with the arrest of Mrs. Parks and following through to the many significant events that followed. Special exhibits that focus on racial equality also appear at the Museum on a rotating basis. The Assembly Room or auditorium frequently features guest lecturers who share expertise in the history of the movement through the years.
