6. Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum

HISTORIC DISTRICT.   Occupying what was formerly a five-story bank for African-Americans, this engaging museum tracks the fight for, and history of, civil rights in Savannah. The guiding force behind it, Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert, was a tireless advocate for equality and spent his life working for the cause. Today, the museum that bears his name features photographs, exhibits, memorabilia, maps, and videos that relate to the struggle. It also showcases a lunch counter where sit-ins were staged.   (© 10Best)
