Dr. Shana Rochester, Education Coordinator of the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum answered five questions about the museum. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<strong>I am a recent new fan of the Lillie Carroll&nbsp;Jackson Civil Rights Museum and I cannot wait to visit. Can you share with our readers some interesting facts about the museum?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m so happy to hear that!\nThe museum is a little known secret in the Bolton Hill neighborhood of\nBaltimore, Maryland and is located in the former home of Mrs. Jackson. Mrs.\nJackson was the president of the Baltimore NAACP chapter for 35 years\n(1935-1970) and served as a mentor to several well-known civil rights leaders,\nsuch as Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The museum\nincludes two period rooms and six gallery spaces that highlight the work of\nMrs. Lillie Carroll Jackson, her family, and her allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does the museum envision for a visitor to know about the museum when they leave?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope that visitors leave with an understanding that Maryland, but particularly Baltimore, was a central part of the Civil Rights Movement. The work of individuals like Mrs. Lillie Carroll Jackson, Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr., and Thurgood Marshall was instrumental in passing prominent national legislation, such as the&nbsp;<em>Brown v. Board.&nbsp;<\/em>Many people associate the struggle to end racial segregation with the Deep South, however, there were several lesser-known cities, like Baltimore, that laid the groundwork and continued to fight for these notable victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"3132\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/heritagesalon.org\/?attachment_id=3132\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/heritagesalon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/LCJM-stairs.jpg?fit=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"682,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark II&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1332383002&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;karlconnollyphotography&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"LCJM-stairs\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/heritagesalon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/LCJM-stairs.jpg?fit=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/heritagesalon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/LCJM-stairs.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/heritagesalon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/LCJM-stairs.jpg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/heritagesalon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/LCJM-stairs.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum Staircase <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> Congratulations on the recent award from the Institute of Museum&nbsp;and&nbsp;Library Services.&nbsp; Can you share what exciting new things we will see in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you! We are in the\nprocess of developing a civil rights curriculum for middle and high school\nstudents in partnership with Baltimore City Public Schools, Baltimore Heritage,\nand the Maryland Historical Society. We will be hosting teacher workshops and\nguided tours during the summer of 2020 and will begin implementing the\ncurriculum in select schools during the 2020-2021 school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The museum is located on the campus of Morgan State University, a historically black university.&nbsp; I was introduced to historic house museums during my matriculation at Bethune Cookman where I my passion was being nurtured. Does the Lillie Carroll&nbsp;Jackson Civil Rights Museum have student workers that have an opportunity to learn about the museum field and the different career opportunities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely! The museum is\nactually an off-site unit of Morgan State University. While we are located\nabout 20 minutes from campus, we have hosted many undergraduate-, masters-, and\ndoctoral-level interns from Morgan&#8217;s history department. Morgan also has a\nMuseum Studies and Historical Preservation master&#8217;s program and we&#8217;ve hosted\nseveral of those students as well. Our student interns have become an\ninvaluable addition to our staff and have gone on to pursue Ph.D. degrees,\nserve as faculty members, and work at the National Archives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> What can someone do to help promote and support the Lillie Carroll&nbsp;Jackson Civil Rights Museum?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone interested in\nsupporting the museum can visit our website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lilliecarrolljacksonmuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.lilliecarrolljacksonmuseum.org<\/a>).\nIf you are local, you can plan to visit us on&nbsp;Wednesdays, Thursdays, or\nSaturdays from 11-3pm.
