About ACCORD Civil Rights Museum

The ACCORD Civil Rights Museum occupies a building on Bridge Street in St. Augustine that once housed the dental office of civil rights leader Dr. Robert B. Hayling. The museum opened in 2014 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and is operated by ACCORD, a nonprofit that honors people who worked for civil rights in the city. It is tied to the ACCORD Freedom Trail, a self-guided route of 31 historic civil rights markers, and brochures for that tour are available at the museum. Visitors can also learn about the movement's local and national background and its timeline and heroes through the organization's website.
