ABOUT THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS
The National Center for Civil and Human Rights believes in justice and dignity for all – and the power of people to make this real. We inspire visitors and our other audiences with immersive exhibitions, dynamic events and conversations, and engagement and education/training programs.
DETAILS
The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, which opened in 2014, is a museum and human rights organization in Atlanta that inspires people to tap their own power to change the world around them. The Center’s iconic exhibitions feature the papers and artifacts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; the history of the civil rights movement in the United States; and stories from the struggle for human rights around the world today.
We host performances, book talks, lectures, and brave conversations in our building and online through our Campaign for Equal Dignity.
Our education program brings history alive for students and provides teachers with tools to teach civil rights history by provoking critical thinking about democratic practice and civic participation.
We provide human rights training for law enforcement officials as well as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) experiences for workplaces. Our Advocacy Academy trains students, advocates and nonprofit leaders in how to engage in civic life effectively.
With a full-time staff of 33 and a part-time staff of 25, The Center has an annual budget of $6 million.
