2. THECENTER ABOUT THE CENTER FOR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS
ABOUT US
The Center for Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta is an engaging cultural
attraction that connects the American Civil Rights Movement to today’s Global
Human Rights Movements. Our purpose is to create a safe space for visitors to
explore the fundamental rights of all human beings so that they leave inspired and
empowered to join the ongoing dialogue about human rights in their communities.
OUR MISSION
The mission of The National Center for Civil and
Human Rights is to empower people to take the
protection of every human’s rights personally.
Through sharing stories of courage and struggle
around the world, The Center encourages visitors
to gain a deeper understanding of the role they play
in helping to protect the rights of all people.
OUR VISION
The National Center for Civil and Human Rights
harnesses Atlanta’s legacy of civil rights to
strengthen the worldwide movement for human
rights. Atlanta played a unique leadership role in the
modern American Civil Rights Movement. Through
harnessing Atlanta’s legacy and galvanizing the
corporate, faith-based, public-sector and university
communities, The Center will serve as the ideal place
to reflect on the past, transform the present and
inspire the future.
OUR HISTORY
The Center was first imagined by civil rights legends
Evelyn Lowery and former United Nations
Ambassador Andrew Young and was launched by
former Mayor Shirley Franklin. The effort gained
broad-based support to become one of the few
places to bridge the American Civil Rights Movement
and evvolving Human Rights Movements around the
world. Established in 2007, The Center’s ground-breaking
43,000-square-foot facility is located on
Pemberton Place adjacent to the World of Coca-Cola
and the Georgia Aquarium – on land donated by the
Coca-Cola Company.
“The Center for
Civil and Human
Rights is a
tremendous
achievement,
unlike anything
this city has
ever seen.”

water”– that helped kindle the vision of the American Civil Rights gallery. “The Passage” speaks to
transformative journeys. It symbolizes a gateway from the past to the future, from the history of the
American Civil Rights Movement and the continuing quest for human rights.

NOW OPEN: THE CENTER FOR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA
Crowds gathered in Atlanta to celebrate historic opening;
choir led moving performance of “We Shall Overcome.”
Atlanta – June 24, 2014 - Yesterday marked a historic day of firsts in Atlanta, Ga. with the opening of the
Center for Civil and Human Rights, the city’s first civil rights museum and one of the nation’s only global
human rights museums. Serving as a connector between past and present, The Center’s powerful stories
of individuals who shaped the American Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the modern
human rights movement invite visitors to reflect on how they can create a better tomorrow.
Consistent with The Center’s mission to
empower people to take the protection of every human's rights
personally,
its public opening celebration honored the past and looked toward the future. The crowd of
nearly 1,000 included civil rights icons such as U.S. Congressman John Lewis, several Freedom Riders
and human rights activists Alina Diaz, Mark Johnson and others. The multi-generational gathering
represented the growing diversity of the Southeastern states. This audience became a part of history
when they walked through the doors of The Center on opening day.
When The Center’s CEO and president Doug Shipman welcomed the crowd by inviting civil and human
rights champions to stand up, more than two dozen people rose to their feet. “We will honor your stories
every day in this Center. The Center reflects the way people and movements today are shaping what’s
happening around the world. Those working for freedom today use the Civil Rights Movement as a
roadmap and look to Atlanta as an example, but The Center is truly about tomorrow,” said Shipman. “At
the end of the day, The Center will be measured by the people who will change the trajectory of their lives
– and the lives of others – to become the next Gandhi, the next King, the next Mandela that the world
needs today.”
Former Atlanta Mayor and National Center for Civil and Human Rights Board Chair Shirley Franklin
expressed The Center’s importance to her by sharing a personal story of her life as a young adult. “When
I went to college in 1963, I couldn’t be mayor. It just wasn’t possible.” Franklin shared. “In my lifetime, I
have seen change and it is my role – my responsibility – to do whatever I can to make sure that everyone
living and breathing in the world has the right to pursue their dreams and aspirations.”
The ceremony included moving performances by a 100-person cross-city choir who sang gospel hymns
and “freedom” songs made famous during the Civil Rights era. One of the day’s most powerful moments
occurred when the choir performed “We Shall Overcome” and the entire crowd crossed their arms, joined
hands and swayed to the anthem, with Bernice King leading the movement from the front row.
John Lewis received a standing ovation as he shared his passion for the City of Atlanta and the history
that happened here. He also spoke of The Center’s mission to share these movements with a new
generation, saying, “A few days ago I had the opportunity to walk through portions of this museum. It
reminded me of something Daddy King used to say when he would hear his son preach on Sunday
mornings. He used to say, ‘Make it plain, son. Make it plain.’ This museum makes it plain. It tells the story
of what happened and how it happened – not just for those who are living, but for generations yet
unborn.”

Others speakers included Johnny Isakson, U.S. Senator, Ga., Kasim Reed, Mayor, City of Atlanta and
Lisa Borders, Chair, The Coca-Cola Foundation.

The Center Experience
Designed with multimedia displays, compelling artifacts and interactive activities, The Center’s exhibitions
are created to empower people to take the protection of every human’s rights personally. The Center was
designed by architect Philip Freelon in partnership with HOK; George C. Wolfe served as The Center’s
chief creative officer for the civil rights gallery; Jill Savitt curated The Center’s human rights gallery; and
David Rockwell and Rockwell Group served as The Center’s exhibition designer. The Center is located in
the heart of downtown Atlanta, adjacent to the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. The
43,000-square-foot facility houses four primary exhibitions:
• “Voice to the Voiceless: The Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection” Gallery
presents a rare collection of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s personal papers and items.
• “Rolls Down Like Water: The American Civil Rights Movement” Gallery created by George C.
Wolfe is comprised of a series of eight sequential exhibitions that bring to life the defining
moments of the modern American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
• “Spark of Conviction: The Global Human Rights Movement” Gallery designed by Jill Savitt
illuminates both individual and global human rights issues. The exhibition is designed to allow
visitors to experience a personal connection to individuals who are taking a stand in the
contemporary fight for human rights.
• A fourth temporary exhibition space features an inaugural-year exhibit celebrating selected works
from “John Lewis Series” by Georgia artist Benny Andrews (American, 1930-2006): this powerful,
iconic series of paintings depicts scenes from the life of John Lewis.
The Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with closures on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Adult
tickets are $15 and child (ages 3–12) tickets are $10. Group rates are also available. Memberships start
at $50 per year and include unlimited free admission for one year, access to members-only events, and
special discounts on programming, events and retail merchandise.
