The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute was founded to:
Enlighten each generation about civil and human rights,
Explore our common past, and
Work Together in the present to build a better future.
With present-day threats to the historic gains made for civil and human rights, the role of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute remains essential to sharpening our modern-day focus.
What happened in Birmingham changed the world. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is committed to preserving and honoring those who put their lives on the line for the freedoms we all enjoy today. As stewards of our nation’s civil and human rights history, we know that individuals and communities can prevail. The courage of our communities will continue to inspire us to bring about change and maintain human dignity for all.
