Rosa Parks Museum
Since its opening on December 1st, 2000, Troy University's Rosa Parks Museum has been an active memorial to the life of civil rights icon Rosa Parks and the lessons of the Montgomery Bus Boycott that brought racial integration to transportation and international attention to civil rights. Located in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, at the site where Mrs. Parks was arrested, it is the nation's only museum dedicated to Rosa Parks. Our mission is to honor Mrs. Parks' legacy and that of the boycott by providing a platform for scholarly dialogue, civic engagement, and positive social change.
With this campaign, Troy University’s Rosa Parks Museum aims to expand our permanent collection to include many of Mrs. Parks’ personal and professional items currently held by the Library of Congress, which will be included in a brand new exhibit, The Life and Legacy of Rosa Parks, that reflects who Mrs. Parks was as an individual and lifelong activist. Join the cause and help the museum provide a glimpse into the lesser-known side of Mrs. Parks.
