A recent report on attendance at North Carolina’s newest civil rights museum shows that despite widespread publicity, fewer than 6 percent of the visitors to the facility are from beyond North Carolina and neighboring states.
The News and Record of Greensboro reported Sunday that the first six months of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro saw about 40,000 people come through its doors. Organizers had estimated the facility would draw 200,000 visitors a year.
