The Center is rooted in the history of Atlanta: the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the modern Civil Rights Movement. Two of the most influential movement organizations were based in Atlanta — the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Our exhibits connect civil rights history to the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.
