Founded in 1996 in Charlotte, North Carolina, the museum focuses on the history of the post-Civil War 'New South,' highlighting emancipation, civil rights, and social transformation in the American South. Its permanent exhibits, such as 'Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers,' explore themes of segregation and cultural progress. For more historical context, see About the museum.
