BCRI 30th Anniversary Celebration

Upon the opening in 1992, BCRI was the preeminent organization that catalogued and exhibited the stories of the Civil Rights movement. For three decades, visitors have come from all over the world to “walk in the footsteps” of those who sacrificed their lives for civil rights. Our 21st century vision to inspire, educate and advocate for social justice leadership skills is unwavering. We are still working to raise the consciousness of America to advance civil and human rights for current and future generations through the lens of the Civil Rights movement.

Culminating a week of festivities, our celebration will feature a night of great conversations, performances, reflection and a one-night-only special exhibit highlighting thirty years of archival acquisitions and exquisite programs. Take part in the festivities as we present the 2022 Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award and other honors.
