Florida’s First Fully Virtual Museum Experience.
The Florida Civil Rights Museum, Inc.℠ (FCRM) was established to display, protect, and preserve the stories, and legacies that exist to illuminate the history of civil rights and education pioneers in the state of Florida, regardless of race, color or creed. The unique aspects of the FCRM include information, presentations and artifacts not commonly found in other museums, including a youth-led component. The museum is significant as it is the only statewide-focused civil rights museum in Florida and currently, the first completely virtual. We aim to deliver these innovative, interactive, and entertaining exhibits within a physical space/building, which will facilitate live visitation from throughout the state and nation.

The curation of exhibits, including virtual, traditional, and traveling displays, will serve to enlighten members of the public about the contributions of historical figures whose commitment to the advancement of equal opportunity made life better for all. A statewide convention would serve to put heads in beds, increase tourism, and contribute to economic development in all areas of Florida. Through partnerships with various sites, universities, libraries, local governments and institutes, all persons, whether they be resident, or visitor, will be treated to pertinent historical information heretofore unknown to most. The creation of a database, and subsequent dissemination of such information to the public will enhance the knowledge of many, and further stimulate the intellectual curiosity of the visitor. Of the many initiatives created by the FCRM℠, providing significant research for the creation of civil rights heritage walks and interactive historical markers in select Florida counties will also serve to honor and preserve this history in a unique and attractive fashion.
The Florida Civil Rights Museum, Inc.℠ takes seriously, its role and mission to display, protect and preserve the rich history, stories and legacies of civil rights and educational pioneers who shaped the history and forward trajectory of Florida. Through partnerships and statewide efforts aimed at telling a comprehensive story, the FCRM℠ hopes to inspire a generation and offer hope and help through the establishment of programs and initiatives designed to encourage civic participation and motivate all citizens.
The Florida Civil Rights Museum, Inc.℠ seeks funding to support Florida’s only statewide-focused civil rights museum. This historic initiative will increase tourism and cultural enhancement throughout the state. Partnerships with libraries, community centers, colleges, universities, and other institutions will serve to increase knowledge of the Floridians who have made significant contributions throughout the state.
