The Louisiana Civil Rights Museum, located within the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, offers visitors a profound journey through Louisiana's Civil Rights legacy. Through multimedia videos, oral histories, and an immersive Dreamcube experience, visitors can explore pivotal moments such as the 105-mile march from Bogalusa to Baton Rouge and the desegregation of New Orleans schools.

Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser's vision for the Louisiana Civil Rights Trail culminated in the museum's inaugural installation, "The Inaugural Experience," unveiled in 2023. As the museum expands into a more comprehensive facility, it aims to continually illuminate Louisiana's impactful civil rights history, fostering a deeper understanding of the individuals and communities that shaped the course of progress.

Don't miss the opportunity to step into the Dreamcube, where Civil Rights events come to life through immersive storytelling. Explore the museum's dynamic pathways focusing on the Right to Assemble, the Right to Education, and the Right to Vote, and leave inspired by the courage and resilience that define Louisiana's ongoing story of progress.
