Programs and Events
As part of its mission to expose students and the general public to the culture and history of African-Americans in Montgomery and throughout the American South, the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African-American Culture hosts a number of events that are open to the public. In addition to its historical documents and exhibits, the Center has welcomed many guest lecturers, scholars, and artists who have come to share their expertise and stories. Our events include a number of lectures and cultural attractions to appeal to all ages and interests.
The Center has a number of programs and events that are the cornerstones of its yearly programming, including the Ralph D. Abernathy Lecture Series and the Black Film Festival. Go to this page to learn more about these events, including when they are held.
These are events created solely for the education, empowerment, and entertainment of the young members of our community. Go to this page to learn more about the children’s programs.
