TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - The Florida Civil Rights Museum will officially open to the public tonight as pioneers are featured in a virtual exhibit hall. It's the first all-virtual civil rights museum in the country, founded by a Tallahassee historian and the daughter of a Tallahassee couple who fought for desegregation and diversification at both the City of Tallahassee and Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Historian Delaitre Hollinger called the opening of the virtual museum 'surreal.' 'It means the world to me because I care about the future and I care about people knowing about these individuals who made life better for so many others,' Hollinger said.
