Freedom Center

The Freedom Center is a proposed academic and conference center focused on human rights that would be located on the site of the former A. G. Gaston Motel facing Kelly Ingram Park, next to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

The idea for the proposed center was developed by Mayor William Bell's office with the idea that it could become the home of a United Nations program for human rights and that it could help the city's efforts to designate the city's Civil Rights District as a World Heritage Site.
