National Center for Civil and Human Rights

The National Center for Civil and Human Rights (the Center) is a museum and cultural institution working to create a more just society through dynamic and empathy-building experiences, teaching history’s connection to the present, and inspiring the changemaker in each of us. 

The Center welcomes more than 175,000 visitors each year. As a nationally recognized educator, convener, and thought leader, our exhibitions and programs inspire curious learners of all ages. We approach our work through the lens of helping people learn, feel, and understand in the service of inspiring individuals to work together to protect the rights and dignity of others.
