Thank You!
The Albany Civil Rights Institute gratefully acknowledges the individuals, corporations, churches and other organizations that have in these difficult economic times provided generous support to ACRI. Your generous gifts allow us to better fulfill our mission of preserving and celebrating the memory of those courageous individuals who challenged the oppressive Jim Crow regime that prevailed in southwest Georgia. It’s a story of bravery and principled action that inspires us today as we continue our struggle to eliminate the injustice and inequality that still remain.
