Children have historically played a significant role in promoting civil rights, and the overall goal of the exhibition is to inspire our young people to continue Dr. King's dream of making positive contributions to society. Dramatic graphics, engaging objects, and powerful quotations from Dr. King and young civil rights activities bring history to life and make contemporary issues relevant to today's youth.
