The National Center for Civil and Human Rights has announced a new partnership and substantial pledge amount from a prominent railroad company in Atlanta.

Earlier this month, the center announced that it is the recipient of a $500,000 pledge from Norfolk Southern in support of the center’s 24,000-square-foot expansion, which began in March 2024.

“At Norfolk Southern, we believe in the power of community, education, and advocacy,” said Kristin Wong, Norfolk Southern’s community impact director, in a recent press release. “We look forward to seeing how these enhanced spaces will inspire visitors and deepen the understanding of civil rights history.”
