Facilities are pretty old-school, but there is a lot of amazing material here for anyone interested in the civil rights movement or black history. I found on microfilm some court documents that were destroyed decades ago, and I thought they were gone for good.

Some friends and I visited from Chicago and the exhibition at the time was Free Southern Theater. It was interesting to learn the historical beginnings of Black people in theater minus blackface.Its really just a resource center, I would recommend it for anyone with an interest in history (visiting Tulane University).

I had the pleasure of visiting The Amistad Research Center May 6th and 7th. I donated a collection the entire staff was caring and knowledgeable. Entrusting my familys collection to them was a very wise decision.
