Believes in justice and dignity for everyone, everywhere. We exist to help people tap into their own power to advance freedom, equality, and inclusion. Through immersive exhibitions, dynamic events, and community-driven programs, the Center connects history to the present, helping individuals and institutions move from reflection to action.
Imagined by civil rights icons Evelyn Lowery and Ambassador Andrew Young, and brought to life by former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, the Center was founded to honor the legacy of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and connect it to global human rights struggles today. We opened our doors in 2014 on land donated by The Coca-Cola Company, steps away from the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola.
The Center is one of the few places in the world that explores the intersection of domestic civil rights history and global human rights. Through exhibitions, programs, and partnerships, we show how past movements continue to shape the present and how each of us can be part of what comes next.
Our staff brings deep expertise in human rights, education, cultural engagement, and public history. We are educators, artists, organizers, and advocates united by a belief in the dignity and potential of every person.
Program highlights from across exhibitions, education, and community engagement
Training data from our Truth & Transformation and DEI initiatives
Recognition of our generous supporters and institutional partners

The rise. The flourish. The fall. This is what the Reconstruction Era looked like. 11 years of Black Americans building something extraordinary, followed by the violence of its erasure. @jewel_ballerina dances this truth in front of a permanent installation by @zsudayka and @jtcolorofsound created for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights' Reconstruction Era wing. During its installation, the artists said it's the most important work of their careers thus far. That everything we are experiencing today is a result of the failures of those 11 years. “We are both very honored that our ancestors spoke through us to create this painting.” And in this moment, Jewel's body carries that weight forward.

Loving the #ConfuseTheEnemy trend! 🔥✨ Breathtaking artwork by @zsudayka & @jtcolorofsound , paired with incredible dance by @jewel_ballerina . 🎨💃🏾 Creativity, movement, and expression all coming together! 👏🏾

(LINK IN BIO) PART 2 - Continuing our conversation with HAMILTON's crew at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Ari on what she hopes people take away beyond the music: "Hamilton is just the opening to a lot of important things... it's a gateway into people learning American history."

That room is happening. Sept 18, 11am-1pm. Hispanic Heritage Month Luncheon presented by @iamgaleo Link in Bio to be there.

PART 1 -- We spoke with some of HAMILTON's crew during their visit to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, and the conversation went straight to the heart of why this partnership matters. Aiko on storytelling: "It's the basis of how we access empathy... it helps us understand where people have been in a way history books can't." Leon on being a change maker: it starts with knowing your community well enough to spark conversations that lead to action. HAMILTON's final week at @thefoxtheatre is here. Last show: September 20.

"It's not one note. It's a beautiful cacophony."

History goes beyond something you read about in textbooks when it becomes something you experience. It becomes stories told by people who understand why they matter. The courage, adventure, and connection within them. Looking for things to do with your family this weekend? Every Saturday at the Center, we've created space for families, young learners, and change agents to step into history in new ways. Sometimes it's through storytelling. Sometimes it's mystery, craft, or hands-on experience. The format changes, but the purpose stays the same: to help you see how history, civil rights, and human dignity show up in your life right now. @ceojaiferrell, CEO of @girlscoutsatl and author of "Lola, the Butterfly Who Found Her Wings," was here sharing how storytelling preserves history, honors it, and makes sure we don't repeat the painful parts. That's what Saturday Adventures are about. Educational activities for kids that are actually engaging. Indoor Atlanta family activities designed to inspire curiosity and connection.
