Atlanta’s Center for Civil and Human Rights unveiled
The Center for Civil and Human Rights will be officially unveiled to the public during its grand opening later this month.
Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the much anticipated opening takes place on June 23 and online ticketing will be available on the center’s website from tomorrow.
Yearly memberships are available for purchase now, starting at $50, offering unlimited admission for 12 months.
Spread over 42,000 square feet, the center houses four primary exhibitions, each focusing on personal stories and combines both the civil rights movement and the global human rights struggle.
Highlights include the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection and the interactive ‘Spark of Conviction’ – showcasing personal stories of the human rights movement.
Exhibits touch on a range of issues including immigration, religious freedoms, ethnicity and social justice.
"The Center uniquely and boldly connects historic freedom movements and iconic individuals, as well as everyday people, with the human rights issues of the present," said Doug Shipman, CEO of The Center.
Programs are being designed for school field trips and educational groups and the center has a dedicated meetings and corporate events facility.
Last month the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis reopened again following a comprehensive $27.5 million renovation project.
