National Center for Civil & Human Rights
Bridging America's civil rights legacy with today's global human rights movement through powerful exhibits and interactive experiences
"Every generation leaves behind a legacy. What that legacy will be is determined by the people of that generation. What legacy do you want to leave behind?" — John Lewis
