Lillie Mae Carroll Jackson Museum

The museum offers a journey through the life of Lillie Mae Carroll Jackson (May 25, 1889 - July 5, 1975), a trailblazing civil rights activist from Baltimore and organizer of the city's first branch of the NAACP. She is widely known by her nicknames, like "Dr. Lillie", "Ma Jackson" and the "mother of civil rights movement." She was instrumental in pioneering the tactic of non-violent resistance to racial segregation used by Martin Luther King and others during the early civil rights movement.
