The National Center for Civil and Human Rights, which opened in 2014, is a museum and cultural organization in Atlanta that inspires the changemaker in each of us to protect rights. The Center’s iconic exhibitions feature the papers and artifacts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; the history of the US civil rights movement; and stories from the struggle for human rights around the world today.

We create immersive empathy building experiences—exhibitions, events, trainings, activations, tours, educational programs and more—that connect history to the present, generate brave convsersations, and inspire changemaking. Our experiences highlight people who have worked to protect rights and model how individuals create positive change. With resources and trainings, we equip people with tools and techniques to influence the world around them.

Now in our tenth year of operation, The Center is pursuing a physical and programmatic expansion that will fulfill the vision of our founders as we evolve from an Atlanta attraction to a nationally recognized educator and convener that encourages respect for the civil and human rights of all people everywhere.

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 idea generated broad-based corporate and community support to become one of the few places in the world educating visitors on the link between the U.S. Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s and the contemporary struggle for human rights around the world. The Center opened its doors in 2014; its groundbreaking 42,000-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.
