Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum

Words can't describe the emotions of visiting. We had an incredible tour guide who was amazing. She gave an amazing tour, answered all our questions. A must visit to any and everyone. I am deeply grateful and humbled by my visit. Thank you for the amazing experience, the education...

I've never had a museum experience like this, where the docents acted as personal tour guides. It did so much to enhance my learning. The museum is small but provides an unusually immersive experience, which really made vivid the massive weight of Jim Crow era indignities and restrictions. At the same time, while I often felt outraged and disturbed, the exhibit as a whole was moving and inspiring rather than depressing. I had no idea that Savannah had such a proud civil rights history.

After visiting many civil rights museums; this by far was the most informative and the most enjoyable. First we met Mary, who was at the front desk - she was very pleasant and helpful.
Our guide was Vaughnette and she was excellent. She kept everyone engaged. We learned so much about the history of Savannah and the history of the civil rights movement. All of the exhibits were exceptional. It felt as if we were back in that time.
These two ladies made us feel like family. I am telling everyone to make this a part of their Savannah visit.
We left the museum feeling empowered and uplifted.
Please put the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum on your must see list. Best time ever‼

What an amazing experience. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through this museum. Ms Vaughnette took her time going through the museum with us and the history of the Civil Rights History in Savannah. A must see if you are visiting Savannah. They have a free parking lot and it is $10 to enter. They are cashless for the entry fee but you can also leave cash donations. It is worth every penny.

This was an incredible experience. I've been to Savannah twice and had no idea about its Civil rights history. I 100% recommend going. Vaughnette is a wonderful tour guide. Mary was incredibly sweet at the front desk and made checking in very easy. I would definitely do this tour again.

Highly recommend checking out this museum if in town. Was very informative to understanding the history of civil rights in Savannah and the important figures involved.

The best part is how visual all the exhibits are. They really set the tone and make you feel like you are back in that time. I left with a much better understanding of the local civil rights history because of it.

Great experience and guides were informative. Learned some new things about the Civil Rights Movement. The museum exhibits are top notch. A must see while in Savannah. There is free parking on the side of the building labeled "RMG Museum". Brought tickets at the Museum.

Learned so much from our visit here. I have always loved Savannah since the 1st time I visited!! I am so glad that we got a chance to visit this Museum. 1st and foremost our guide Jasmine was amazing!! I love her excitement about the history and I really enjoyed my time with her. The entire staff treating us like family!!! I recommend that anyone visiting Savannah stop by!!

This museum is young in age but filled with history. Located on the self proclaimed’Black Wall Street’ of Savannah, a visit starts with a 20 min video and then a guide showed us around the exhibits, providing additional info and access to some of the museum’s back story.

A must see stop for anyone visiting Savanna. This museum provides a much more vivid and complete understanding of this place that you just don’t get without coming here first. Highly recommended!

The museum was excellent. The docents were very knowledgeable. If you want to learn about the rich civil rights history of Savannah, this is a must-see.

What an eye-opening experience!! I will never forget this museum and everyone should come and see this historical place. I'm not a huge history buff, which attests to how well this facility kept my interest! It is handicap accessible (Elevators) and the staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable!! Thank you for making our trip an unforgettable one!

Side note: There is an exhibit that allows you to sit and be served as a "white" person or a "colored" person of the 1960's,-such an emotional experience! That's all I'm going to say!

A must see on your knowledge of Black (CRT) history of Savannah, GA. Warm welcome, very knowledgeable personnel.

This museum was very well done and informative. It was very interesting to see the parallels in history between both past and present. Our guide Shayla was incredibly informative and answered all of our questions. If you are visiting Savannah, I recommend coming here to learn about the Civil Rights history of this city.

Very nice place very much local civil rights history but enjoyed and took pictures of my personal hero Dr Martin Luther King Jr

This small quaint and quiet civil Rights history museum was a 'jewel' of a find, and a 'jewel' to be seen, if like us you're big on AA history, and/or history period! We gleaned a wealth of information about the civil Rights era, and of those civil rights soldiers who paved the way... The staff was knowledgeable, hospitable & inviting as only the deep south can bring. Felt like we were amongst family, probably because we were 🙂.

Great stop on our tour of Savannah. Enjoy the tour of this civil right museum, it was dedicated to movement of Ga and Savannah but it was a great learning experience, had a lot of visual artifacts and pictures. It even have a video during of some civil rights activists from the past. You really get a true since of the past and being a part of the movement. Was unable to take photos of the inside, but the memories will last a lifetime.

I've lived in Savannah my entire life and I never knew about our rich Civil Rights History. (We were granted permission to take pictures).

It was a great experience learning about the civil rights movement here in Savannah. Roselyn (in the pic lifting my youngest) helped explain to my daughters what it meant to live in the Jim Crow South. Absolute love for this museum and all that it represents in our American history. Special love and thanks to the staff. (Hope I got her name right. If I didn’t, my apologies)

Definitely visit in Chicago! it wasn't stuffy or pretentious, was free, with cool exhibits.
