| Welcome to the Birmingham Civil Rights
Institute online store. With interactive permanent exhibitions,
exciting changing exhibitions, engaging programming, the institute
is poised to become a major regional attraction. Please come back
again.
 The
Institute showcases a walking journey through the "living institution"
which displays the lessons of the past as a positive way to chart
new directions for the future. The permanent exhibitions are a self-directed
journey through Birmingham's contributions to the Civil Rights Movement
and human rights struggles. Multimedia exhibitions focus on the
history of African American life and the struggle for civil rights.
The Oral History Project, one of the museum's multmedia exhibits,
documents Birmingham's role in the Civil Rights Movement through
the voices of movement participants. To date, over 170 people have
been interviewed.
