Located in downtown Montgomery in an open plaza in front of the Civil Rights Memorial Center, the Civil Rights Memorial is dedicated to 41 people who fought and died during the American Civil Rights Movement for equal integrated treatment, regardless of race, between 1954 and 1968. The Civil Rights Memorial Center is located next to the Memorial.
It features exhibits about the martyrs of the Civil Rights Movement, a 56-seat theater, a classroom and the Wall of Tolerance.
The 20 by 40 foot Wall digitally displays the names of over half a million people who promised to stand against hate and work for tolerance and justice in their lives.
All visitors can pledge to take a stand against injustice, hate and intolerance and their names will be added to the continuous digital flow of the names.
