Expanding the Legacy

Birmingham Civil Rights Institute
Birmingham, Alabama

When it opened in 1992, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute became one of the premier educational centers for studying the civil rights movement and the global struggle for human rights. Today, the Institute is more vital than ever and was awarded the 2007 National Award for Museum Services by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

To continue empowering individuals to value their freedom and work towards mutual understanding, the Institute hired Amaze Design to refurbish part of the original museum and design and install a new exhibit called “Expanding the Legacy.” These exhibits make the movement relevant to young lives today and put the power of change in their hands.
