A civil rights museum in Atlanta now includes exhibits from the Reconstruction era

A civil rights museum in Atlanta expanded recently and now includes the era of reconstruction that followed the Civil War and ultimately led to segregationist Jim Crow Laws in the South. VIRGIN: From the lunch counter sit-ins to the march on Washington, students walk through immersive recreations of Civil Rights moments from the early 20th century in the segregated South through the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Now, instead of beginning in the 20th century, the history lesson starts in the 1860s Reconstruction era, following the end of the Civil War.
