National Centre for Civil and Human Rights highlights
The main features of the National Centre for Civil and Human Rights are the 3 permanent exhibits. The first is a collection of artefacts and personal effects belonging to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You can see drafts of "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and "Drum Major Instinct" here.
Another exhibition highlights the American Civil Rights Movement as a whole and features Jim Crow and key court cases. Finally, you'll find the Spark of Conviction exhibit, which details the global human rights movement. You'll find information about historical opponents to civil rights like Hitler, Pinochet, and other fascists who are then countered by images and information of modern activists.
