International Civil Rights Center & Museum

For Black History Month, the Delta Zeta Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. visited the International Civil Rights Center & Museum with our youth auxiliary group, The Sigma Beta Club. For a few young men, this was their first trip from the Durham area. I appreciate the amount of information and stories that Robin Easter provided on our tour. Although I’m an Aggie alum, it is always an amazing experience to visit the museum and see the new exhibits and artifacts that the museum has collected. Also, they have some amazing books in the museum store. Again, special thank you to Robin Easter and all of the museum staff. I also appreciate you taking a selfie with me!!!!

My friend and I visited the museum on a Friday, and it was nice. We had a wonderful tour guide, Darren, and when I come back, I hope I get him again. My family is from Greensboro, and my dad told me he used to sit at the counter (which they preserved for guests to walk through) and order a banana split after the A&T 4 made history. Things like this seem like a long time ago, but it wasn't. It was nice to walk through a piece of history like that in NC. The painful history is preserved so that we can learn from it...

This museum is truly a hidden gem of Greensboro! It is obvious that the passionate and knowledgeable staff truly care about the continued expansion of civil rights in the United States and abroad. Thank you Angela for a fantastic and fact-filled afternoon!
