In 1992, The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute was founded with a charge of preserving and promoting the legacy of the 1963 Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham. In joyful commemoration of our 29th anniversary, we invited the community to join us for a celebration and reflection of our successes. The festivities brought fun for all ages – with historic gallery tours, birthday cake, musical entertainment, food trucks and, of course, educational games that tell the story of the Civil Rights Movement. The event gave us a chance to show our beneficent stakeholders that we are proud to provide a forum for dialogue and community engagement through our programming and that we are poised to continue producing exciting new exhibitions and exceptional programming to meet our mission for preservation, inspiration, and education.
