Memorial Day weekend carries many traditions, time with family, travel, cookouts, and community gatherings. At its heart, though, it remains a time of remembrance.
⠀
This weekend, we honor the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice continues to shape the freedoms we live with today, and we pause in gratitude and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
As a museum dedicated to American history and civic understanding, we also reflect on the ongoing pursuit of equality, education, and citizenship that continues to shape our nation’s story.
⠀
If your Memorial Day weekend plans bring you through Farmville, we invite you and your family to visit the Robert Russa Moton Museum and walk the halls where students helped change American history.
