"The opening marks the completion of a $68 million construction project that began in March 2023, transforming the undercroft into a 15,000-square-foot museum, theater, and bookstore dedicated to the memorial's significance in the Civil Rights movement. Visitors to the museum will see the expansive columns that hold up the memorial along with educational programming such as videos, which will trace the monument's construction history along with milestone moments in Civil Rights history related to the monument."
