I have been an ASF member and patron for many years. My daughter and I went by the box office today, July 29th at approximately 3 PM to change the show time of the tickets purchased for the Wizard of Oz. The box office "customer service" reps attitudes were not exemplary of the tiles they wear! Neither of them had smiles on their faces and they did not greet us as patrons upon walking in. They were stoic faced, unfriendly and boarderline rude. Upon requesting to change ticket times, they stated we must pay an additional $5 per ticket. Upon paying $10 for the change, we were not asked what seats we wanted (several comparable premium seats were left as indicated on the seating chart online). However, the rep took it upon herself without asking us or acknowledging to honor the same level seats of our purchased seats. That rep took too much liberty in downgraded our prepaid premium seats (close to the stage) to lesser ones much further back. Yet, she did not offer us compensation for the lesser priced seats she gave with the new showtime. Also, I politely asked them about "using the restroom". The elderly rep immediately after me questioning "where is the bathroom?", stated in a condescending tone, pointing toward the window, saying in the form of a statement "were the bathrooms outside locked". I replied pointing to our SUV parked just outside of the ticket box office door, "what bathroom? Our car is right there!" Then she said something in a very low voice to one of the other reps sitting next to her. That rep without saying one word, only gestured for me to follow her. I assumed correctly, it was to show me the way and to unlock the area where the bathroom is. As I was leaving neither of the three so titled customer service reps uttered a word. Neither of them had given an entrance salutation (hello, how are you doing?) nor parting salutation (goodbye, have a good day, etc.). There was very little to literally no verbal interaction from them during our entire experience. I am very disappointed with the customer experience caused by those employees representing what I have never had a problem patronizing as an elite, reputable local theater. We left feeling disrespected and less than the loyal, longstanding, paying member/patron of ASF that we are and have been for the course over several years.

There are virtually no artifacts and it's basically just a bunch of reading. There is a cool movie reenactment bus exhibit. But beyond that it was pretty boring. I'd recommend to the museum operators that the three TVs in the first room should all be synced together. It's very distracting having to look between the 3. I won't be coming back or recommending this to anyone. Also, the actual bus is apparently in Detroit.

They have a cup holder for the kiddo as well as pockets in the back for the adults to put stuff in there and the "roof" flap is a screen with option to unroll a solid piece to avoid too much sun getting through.

We visited the Civil Rights Memorial Center in Montgomery, AL on Jan 7, 2026 as part of Road…read moreScholar's "The Civil Rights Movement - Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham" program. As the name indicates, it's a memorial and not a true museum. Tickets were covered by our program. We spent less than an hour here, in part because we got two other similarly small museums to visit in our day's itinerary. At the entrance of the Center is a security screening. We were directed to line up in rows. The security guard was friendly. He nicknamed me "Big T" since my name started with "T". I replied, "I wish I was big." To which he went, "Me too," and we both laughed. Row by row, we went up to the counter to surrender our personal items prior to the screening. The guard allowed me to keep my belt on even though the buckle is metal. Then each of us went through the screening. No issues encountered. We were then joined by a museum guide. The first section is the Martyr Room, dedicated to the 40 that were killed during the Civil Rights Movement. Collage of photos and individual profiles positioned at eye level filled every wall. There is a console in the middle of the room for visitors to learn more. A short while later, we were led to the Orientation Theater where we watched a short film called "Apathy is not an Option". It started with a highlight reel of the Movement and connects it to contemporary events of social justice. After that, we continued on to "The March Continues", a hallway of murals depicting contemporary social justice. The end of the hallway leads the "Wall of Justice" room. On one wall is a large, wide screen with names of people involved in civil rights through the ages, set to a photo of - presumably - the Selma March. By the opposite wall are inscribed quotations from historical figures, including one from Robert Kennedy (Sr.) during a trip in Cape Town, South Africa in 1966. The best was saved for last. We arrived at the Memorial table to see water literally flowing down onto its surface where the names of the 40 are etched. The artwork is indeed magnificent. Footage is in the video "Day 4 & Day 5: Civil Rights Memorial Center, Legacy Plaza, Legacy Museum" on my YouTube channel, in playlist "2026-1: The Civil Rights Movement - Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham". If it was up to me, I'd spend a few minutes more in the Martyr Room. It has the most content of all the sections. Overall, the Civil Rights Memorial Center is a good, albeit modest-sized center. It is worth the visit if done in conjunction with the Rosa Parks Museum and the Freedom Rides Museum, both of which are within walking distance.

Outside you will find a waterfall running down a wall that has a quote from Martin Luther King. There is also a large circular black granite water table that has the names of 41 people killed (Martyrs) in the name of the civil rights struggle. It was designed by Maya Lin in 1989. In order to enter here you must have a must, submit to a temperature check and go through security screening. This is one of the few museum in the area that allows photos inside. The Center is very small. The first room that you come to is the The Martyr Room and features 74 people, that are known as "The Forgotten", and the 41 "Civil Rights Martyrs" that are listed on the memorial outside. Sadly, it is an extensive list and has Emmet Till, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, and other less notable names. The main section of the Center is the Apathy is Not an Option: Orientation Theater. It seats about 75 or so and is very nice. The movie that they play here is on a schedule and the timer is located in the previous room. It tells you when the next showing is. The movie is amazing and is a must see. It is well put together. I really loved it and am glad that I waited for it. The rest of the Center has pictures of people on the walls with phrases and/or personal stories on them It is titled The March Continues: Today's Activist. The Center's last area is the Wall of Justice: A Space of Reflection, a video wall with names falling down. You can put your name on the wall, by agreeing to a pledge. It does not stay there, so if you are going to get a picture of it then you better do it fast. You end you tour in the small gift shop that sells key chains, t-shirt, and pencils/pens, and pictures. It does not take long to make it through the center. I spent about 45 minutes here and that included watching the movie. There is not much to the Center, but is is still worth a visit if you are in the area and have time.
