About Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum

This small museum in Baltimore tells the story of the local civil rights movement and the work of its namesake, Lillie Carroll Jackson. It is run as an offsite unit of Morgan State University. Visitors can explore its galleries during limited weekly hours, and guided tours are available for an added fee. The building is wheelchair accessible, with elevator service to every floor. Because the museum follows the university's schedule, visitors should check for closures before planning a trip.
