The Rutherford Courthouse Museum in downtown Murfreesboro is preserving the history of the area. This month, the museum is highlighting artifacts that honor Black civil rights leaders and the fight to integrate schools, the Daily News reports. The exhibits — "The Fight For Civil Rights: Building Foundations" and "The Fight For Civil Rights: Getting Organized" — are free and open seven days a week. Supporters of the temporary exhibit would like to have an on-going display at the courthouse and some have expressed interest in expanding the offerings to honor Native tribes who lived in the county and Laotian refugees who have settled in the area. The Tennessean has the story.
