Preserving Petersburg's History to Inform Tomorrow
Together we can work to Protect and Preserve our Petersburg History.
The Civil Rights Movement in Petersburg
Petersburg was closely involved in the Civil Rights early struggle. Our new exhibit, in the Exchange Building Museum, documents Petersburg's involvement with the movement from 1956 to 1965...come learn about the civic and religious leaders who were integral to Dr. Martin Luther King during his frequent visits to Petersburg, Virginia. Our interactive exhibit of local citizens' experiences during this critical time in U.S. history includes a video produced by local film makers, Brian Skillen & Daniel Jones.
