- The Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum captures the Civil Rights Movement in Savannah. The exhibits tell the story of the Father of modern Civil Rights movement in Savannah, Reverend Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert who reorganized the local chapter of the NAACP in the 1940s. His successor Westley Wallace Law led the Civil Rights Movement, in Savannah, through the turbulent 1960s with nonviolent protests that resulted in the downtown businesses in the city of Savannah being desegregated by 1963. Visitors also experience a "church theatre" which connects the story of the church organization and NAACP working in tandem to make the Savannah Civil Right movement a success. In the theatre guests watch a video that is a window into the history as the men and women who were on the front lines of Savannah's Civil Rights Movement tell their stories.The Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum captures the Civil Rights Movement in Savannah.
