What's in the
Community Gallery?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Annapolis Activism
This exhibit celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Act’s passage and its impact on the Annapolis community.
The Act was a landmark victory that prohibits unequal treatment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It ended segregation and paved the way for new debates and legislation to afford the nation’s founding promises of equality and justice to all its citizens. Our exhibit shares some local stories of Annapolitans as they led the way in the breaking down of barriers following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Visitors can also expand their knowledge of the Civil Rights Movement by checking out our specially-curated Book List. All of these resources can be found at the Anne Arundel County Public Library!
NEW! Guided tours of the Museum will be offered at 11:30 am and 2 pm each day during open hours.
