Birmingham Civil Rights Institute
Description
To enlighten each generation about civil and human rights by exploring our common past and working together in the present to build a better future. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI) documents the struggle of African American citizens in Birmingham to become full participants in the city's government and business community. Because this struggle was a social movement that caught the attention of the world, Birmingham is an appropriate place for an institution that serves the world as a center for study and reflection.
