For my Museum report I chose to go to the Ralph Mark Gilbert Museum. Someone I knew told me this was one of the best museum to go to and they had a lot of information on Savannah way back in the days when slavery was around. The civil rights movement made Ralph the father. When I walked into the museum the first thing that caught my eye was the parts on segregation.
