Our Advocacy Academy teaches sophisticated rights campaign techniques to students and grassroots NGOs, utilizing our exhibitions as case studies.
Our Leadership Trainings provide opportunities for experiences and conversation on diversity and inclusion in the workplace and training for law enforcement officials on their role as civil rights defenders.
Our campaign begins from the premise that in order to bridge the divides in our country and ensure equal dignity for all, “we the people” need to create change. The Campaign for Equal Dignity provides educational programming, conversation opportunities and range of resources to help people – individuals, corporations, families, students — protect rights and dismantle structural racism.
SUPPORT THE CENTER’S SPONSOR FREE ADMISSION
EACH YEAR CORPORATE SPONSORS FURTHER OUR MISSION AND THE IMPACT OF THE STORIES WE TELL.
The Center’s mission relies on visitors engaging with civil and human rights stories — the hometown stories from Atlanta, our nation’s history and across the globe. Our corporate sponsors provide the public with access to a unique cultural experience and make an investment in our work through sponsored admission throughout the year.
In 2020, Free Admission sponsored by Georgia Natural Gas will allow The Center to welcome more than 1,500 visitors. This generous contribution helps The Center remain a landmark institution and truly inclusive space for dialogue about crucial issues of our time. With your company’s support, we seek to offer free admission days on the following dates:
Each year since our founding, The Center has held its Power to Inspire annual event to recognize courageous individuals working to protect human rights and dignity. This year, in response to social distancing due to COVID-19, The Center will forgo a large in-person event, and instead host its Power to Inspire activities online throughout the year – honoring and interviewing individuals through video profiles and conversations.
Background
We have found that students from underserved communities face financial and logistical challenges in organizing trips to The Center. Committed to removing the economic barriers that prevented in-need students from visiting, we raised a reserve fund, designated as Operation Inspiration, to underwrite admission for in-need students.
Since its inception in 2015, Operation Inspiration has underwritten admission costs for up to 20,000 students each year. This program also supplies educators with free online resources to prepare students for their visit to The Center as well as help in facilitating conversations when they return to the classroom.
