National Center for Civil and Human Rights
Atlanta, GA
Arm in arm, men and women of diverse cultures and backgrounds join in solidarity – moving forward with strength and determination to advance the ideals that unite them. Linked together, the human chain cannot easily be broken. This powerful image of unity – as common today as in the time of Martin Luther King, Jr. - is the idea which has driven the design of the Center for Civil and Human Rights.
The simple yet powerful image of interlocking arms also invokes the spirit of exploration and collaboration that is central to the CCHR’s mission – signifying the linkages that empower individuals and groups of seemingly divergent interests to find common ground. Through this iconic form, discernible from ground level and from above, the very structure of the CCHR embodies the goals and ideals of the institution.
