My husband and I toured the International Civil Rights Museum with a guide on September 28. I was my second visit and his first. The museum is a very well curated set of stories of the civil rights movement primarily of the late 20th century, catalyzed by the actions of students at NC A&T and Bennett College at sit-ins at the Woolworth store which now houses the museum. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and polished and has a personal story connected to the sit-ins. On the day we visited, the son of one of the original four A&T students was present, and we briefly met him. The tour is about 1.25-1.5 hours and well worth the time. The tour length is excellent: the insight can be absorbed without overwhelmed (though there is much to consider). We appreciated being in a diverse tour group; some members could sing or tell about parts of the story. We highly recomment the museum and tour and will return with more guests.

The museum was incredible. I took the guided tour and the staff member leading it , Whitney, was VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. She not only identified the people and the events n the Exhibit; but she explained why it was important. She pointed out that racism was not only a Southern problem pointing to events in multiple Northern states as well.

This was probably one of the best museum experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend the tour guide experience. The guides level of knowledge and emotional presentations bring the experience to life. You don't want to miss this!

The International Civil Rights Center and Museum is a must-see for everyone! The experience of seeing the preserved Woolworth's counter where the sit-in movement started was very powerful. I started my tour after a large group of elementary school students were finishing theirs and I was so happy to see the young generations participating with and learning in the museum. I was fortunate to have the start of my tour guided by Mr. Darren and the second half with Ms. Gloria. Both are excellent and passionate tour guides, who give great insight into the well-curated and beautifully designed exhibition spaces. These spaces display primary sources, documents, and materials and tell the story of the Civil Rights Movement in Greensboro and throughout the country and the world. Thank you for preserving this space and these stories, and telling the story and pursuit of Civil Rights and Human Rights.

4 teachers and 47 11th grade students went to this museum for a morning tour. There was perfect parking right in front of the museum for our two activity buses. Once inside, the staff quickly broke our large group into 4 groups for staff-led tours. The museum is wonderful with many artifacts, photos, etc. that detail the history of the Sit-In Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Greensboro 4. The Woolworth lunch counter is also part of the tour. Our students had completed a unit on Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in English 3, so they were familiar with the ideas of the Civil Rights Movement prior to the visit. Students had also studied Jim Crow laws and the drive for African-American voter registration (and the "literacy" test) in American History prior to the visit. It was very powerful to see these ideas come alive for students at the museum. I only interacted with one docent, Darren McGill. Mr. McGill did a fantastic job keeping my students' interest. Although the topic was a serious one, he was able to infuse some humor into our tour and even sang a couple times. Most of all, he was very inspiring to my students, encouraging them to stand up for what is right and respect themselves and each other as worthy human beings. I enjoyed this tour so much, I hope to take my students next semester as well. I do want to warn, however, that some of the photos in the museum are graphic, and I don't think this field trip would work for younger students. It was perfect, though, for high school students.

This excellent museum immerses visitors in the culture of the segregated south and the heroic struggle to win civil rights for Black citizens. It is artfully and imaginatively done to reach visitors hearts and minds. It will be engaging for people of all ages. I especially recommend joining one of the guided tours. The leaders are excellent — knowledgeable and wonderful communicators.

Another shocking history moment that allows us to work towards being better. So well done. My wife and I were fortunate enough to get the guided tour. I was impressed with the experience and embarrassed at how little I really knew.

The Internationa Civil Rights Center and Museum is an absolute must. Please take the docent tour although you can do a self guided tour. I have gone many times and each docent is totally knowledgable. You can also do a virtual tour if you live out of town. I arranged one with my sorority sisters who live all over the country It was awesome

This is a wonderful museum with informative and interesting exhibits. The guided tour is a must - Robin and Jeanne were my tour guides and they were both extraordinary. I learned so much from them both and found their presentations informative, interesting and highly engaging!

The Woolworth counter sit-in and protests represent an important piece of American history in our country’s evolving civil rights struggle. The museum is well thought out and gives viewers an intimate look at key persons and events over time. There is a lot to absorb here. Our knowledgeable guide was engaging and provided context for the exhibits. The tour was informative and educational…thought provoking. For those interested in American history, I highly recommend a visit to this museum in downtown Greensboro.
