ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Building for the future The last year has been perhaps the most exciting in the history of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Inc., and we are thrilled to share our progress with you in our 2013 annual report. Building has clearly been our theme. We have spent the last year building our facility, building partnerships, building support, building visibility and building our team — all so that we can fulfill our vision of helping to build a better world. After years of raising awareness and funding for the project, we broke ground on June 27, 2012. The work of building our world-class facility got underway in earnest in early 2013, as our crane was erected and our facility began to take shape in steel and concrete. We have already had a significant impact through our programming as a “Center Without Walls,” yet it is still inspiring to see those walls finally rise over Pemberton Place. I can’t wait for our visitors to share the unique experience created by our design team of George C. Wolfe, David Rockwell and Jill Savitt, and our exhibition team. But the work of building the facility won’t end when construction is complete and the exhibits are on display, just like the work of building a more just world doesn’t end when a particular crisis is resolved. The Center has always been, and will always be, more than its physical location. When it opens on June 23, 2014, our city will again be positioned at the forefront of discussions of civil and human rights and our country a permanent space for the general public to connect the legacy of the American Civil Rights Movement to evolving human rights struggles throughout the world. Throughout the year, we have built relationships with key human rights organizations that will help provide content and programming to keep the Center relevant and current. These partners include Human Rights Watch, Human Rights First, Amnesty International, and Freedom House. We have also continued key partnerships with other community organizations well as local universities. In partnership with the New World Foundation, our “I Was (T)here Exchange” sent 22 college students to Washington, D.C., for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, where they worked to record visual histories of those who attended the 1963 march. Our Women & Girls Collaborative, comprising 32 organizations, including Agnes Scott and Spelman colleges, implemented relevant programming such as our Girls’ Summit and Women’s Herstory Month celebrations. I am also especially proud of our ongoing relationship with world-renowned photographer Platon, who visited Atlanta for our Design & Dialogue event and whose photography will be featured at the Center. Before we open, you can see his photos at our New York Times and Goldberg’s Bagel store on Concourse E at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, with a percentage of sales benefitting the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Inc. Following our opening, our programming and partnerships will continue to expand, aided by our interactive exhibits, educational curriculum, broadcast studio and event spaces where organizations and advocates can gather to make their voices heard. As we joined the world in celebrating the life of Nelson Mandela, whose story will be told in The Center’s human rights hall of fame, I was reminded of one of his most famous quotes: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” To be certain, our work in building this structure is on a vastly smaller scale than Mandela’s work in rebuilding his society, but there were times through the years when some may have thought we were chasing an impossible dream. Now, as we prepare to open our country’s first institution dedicated to both civil rights and human rights, we thank you for helping us get the impossible done.
Doug Shipman CEO
Making human rights personal After nearly a decade of vision and planning, The Center for Civil and Human Rights opens in 2014. As we celebrated our “topping out” day in September, when we reached the highest point in our construction, it was a proud moment filled with the museum’s progress and potential. It is fitting that The Center will open as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, the landmark 1964 legislation that outlawed discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion and gender. In 2015, we will mark the 50th anniversaries of both the Voting Rights Act and the Immigration & Naturalization Act. Our opening in the midst of these national celebrations and discussions highlights The Center’s contemporary role and responsibility to educate, engage and encourage a generation of young people who are redefining civil and human rights. This year, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a key part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, while immigration reform remains stalled in a deeply divided Congress. The struggle for civil and human rights continues. As Eleanor Roosevelt, who chaired the commission that created the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, reminds us, “It is not so much the powerful leaders that determine our destiny as the much more powerful influence of the combined voices of the people themselves.” We must ask and be prepared to respond to the questions of the day. Where are we? What work is left to do? Through our exhibits, programming and broadcast studio, The Center is poised to be an important venue and catalyst for discussing these issues and other evolving human rights struggles around the world. Finally, fulfilling this dream would not have been possible without the full engagement of our Board of Directors, which I am honored to chair, and a wide variety of partners and supporters. The Women’s Solidarity Society, Tile Wall donors, individuals, corporations, foundations, and the City of Atlanta - you all made it possible to bring this dream to reality. Moving into our next phase, I am guided by the vision of Ambassador Andrew Young and Mrs. Evelyn Lowery, who first approached me back in 2002 with the idea to create a center that would celebrate Atlanta’s unique civil rights history and use it as a foundation for dialogue and learning about contemporary human rights issues. Mrs. Lowery passed away this year, but we are proud that The Center will stand as one of the lasting legacies of her life. I look forward to you at our grand opening in the spring of 2014, as we take the next step in our mission to empower people to take the protections of every human’s rights personally. Shirley Franklin Chair, Board of Directors
TIME LINE Building the Center From dream to reality: After years of planning, construction of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights got underway in earnest in 2013 on the site at Pemberton Place donated by the Coca-Cola Company.
The Exhibition model traveled to Atlanta from New York City for a first look with Board Members, The Center’s world advisory committee and dignitaries.
On Sept. 20, 2013, we celebrated our Topping Out — the day we reached the highest point in our construction. Center staff and supporters joined employees of our construction firm — the Russell, Moody, Holder Joint Venture— to mark this milestone. The Center celebrated our groundbreaking on
June 27, 2012.
Also in September 2013, we unveiled the design for a bold, 34-foot-tall water sculpture that will grace the Center’s grounds.
Major construction began in February 2013 as our crane became part of the skyline around Pemberton Place and Centennial Park. Thanks to a creative $24 million deal put together by Invest Atlanta and PNC Bank, we completed our Phase 1 construction funding in March 2013.
In October 2013, the National Association of Minority Contractors honored the Center with its President’s Award, recognizing our work in providing opportunities for minority-owned businesses.
In November 2013, our exhibit team traveled to Lorton, Va., to review detailed mock-ups of our exhibits at the fabrication facility of Design & Production, Inc.
February 2013 September 2013
Our dream becomes a reality when The Center opens on June 23, 2014. Construction continued in December to put us on track to begin loading in some of the first exhibits in January 2014. By March 2014, our building will be complete and our exhibits will take shape inside.
Building our team Since our groundbreaking in June 2012, The Center has expanded our staff to build the team that will lead us into our next phase as a facility drawing visitors from around the world. In September 2013, we welcomed Chief Operating Officer Terrie Rouse, who brings more than three decades of experience in non-profit, government and museum management. We began advertising for other key executive positions in October 2013, with new faces joining us in December. We plan to have a full-time staff of 23 and number of seasonal front line positions in place by opening.

Building Our Community Through Programming
Building Support
Following groundbreaking, The Center received generous corporate and community support for the construc tion of our world-class institution, as well as our programming and educational efforts.
Key New Funding • In February 2013, Invest Atlanta and PNC Bank secured $24 million in federal New Market Tax Credits, providing critical support toward the construction of The Center. • The Arthur M.

In appreciation, The Center will name its Civil Rights Gallery in honor of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. • In addition to the generous donation of land from The Coca-Cola Company, The Coca-Cola Foundation signaled its deep commitment to the work of the Center by contributing a $500,000 cash gift. • The Robert W.
