NATIONAL CENTER for CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS

---

The Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta commemorates the landmark contributions of Atlanteans and Georgians to the historic struggle for African-American freedom and equality as well as presenting the continuing story of human rights efforts around the world. 

The Center is a space for ongoing dialogue, study, and potential resolution of current and future freedom struggles for all people, at the local, national and international levels. 

The design was inspired by the powerful image of linked arms and conceived with sustainability as a primary consideration. The design features a terracotta clad building surrounding an exterior courtyard, which serves as an amphitheater and exhibit space.
