Civil rights museum gets site
A proposed civil rights museum is planned for Atlanta's central tourist district. The Center for Civil and Human Rights will be located between The New World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. The center is scheduled to break ground next year and will showcase the city and state's contributions to human rights efforts around the world. Morehouse College's Martin Luther King Jr. Collection is expected to be the centerpiece of the project.
