African American Military History Museum

I'm glad this museum exists, especially in Hattiesburg, which has badly segregated neighborhoods. The building is neat, the staff is friendly, and the tour is free! Audio/video options are also incorporated.
I do think the exhibits should be more straightforward about the struggles African American troops faced. One small panel describes a couple of veterans and their wives who were pulled from a car and shot by whites, but mostly the museum focuses on integration and speaks of racism in overly polite, generic terms.

Walking through the doors, I was enveloped by history. The USO building was originally used in World War II for African American military men and women. There were replicas of the original furniture placed around the lobby and 40s music piped in. I felt like had stepped back in time. Each exhibit had several short videos to watch about historic figures, were filled with artifacts and haf some pretty cool displays. Check it out!
