From BetterWorld.org: There are other Civil Rights Museums in Alabama. This one is for Decatur and North Alabama. Our activities in Decatur are important to complete the whole story. There is a wrong-headed notion that there were no credible/documented civil rights activities in Decatur, Morgan County, Alabama. However the following examples show otherwise: 1. The 106th United States Colored Infantry; 2. The responses to lynchings in the area; 3. NAACP v Alabama 4. The Scottsboro Boys Trials.
