Those contrasting images will be shown in side-by-side museums telling the complex story of one Southern state. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the Museum of Mississippi History, which share a lobby, are being built near the state capitol in downtown Jackson. The buildings are being outfitted with displays, and companies based in Tennessee and West Virginia are making custom-crafted mounts for artifacts. Doug Zellman works for 1220 Exhibits in Nashville, the company creating mounts for the Museum of Mississippi History. Greg Mendez works for ParaMounts Artifact & Exhibit Specialists in Charlestown, West Virginia — the company making mounts for the civil rights museum.
