Voices from the Community

“The Center on Civil and Human Rights’ opening is a victory for the city, celebrating its rich history and the connection to today’s challenge – it is a remarkable project that has been in the making for the last decade. The center is now a destination, attracting people from across the United states, and around the world, and the New Markets Tax Credit financing was a critical piece in making it happen.”

-Dale Royal, formerly with Atlanta Emerging Markets, Inc.
