CIVIL RIGHTS MEMORIAL CENTER
The CRMC and the Memorial are located just around the corner from the historic church where Martin Luther King Jr. served as pastor during the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Alabama Capitol steps, where King spoke to thousands at the conclusion of the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march.
The CRMC will host the exhibit, The ‘Bloody Sunday’ Foot Solider Identification project at the CRMC during Black History Month. The 'Bloody Sunday' Foot Soldier Identification Project will be on display through February 28, 2022. The exhibit features Alabama law enforcement surveillance photographs of the 1965 'Bloody Sunday' march. Inspired by the photographs, ASU art faculty and local Montgomery artists came together in the galleries to reference these photographs as source material for their artworks to honor the heroism of ‘Bloody Sunday’ foot soldiers.The Portraits of Courage Project was born and became part of the ASU art department’s community programming funded by a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and led by ASU Profs. Nathaniel Allen and Dr. Mary Soylu. Dr. Soylu expressed that "we wanted to harness the power of the visual arts to portray the heroism and humanity of the marchers captured forensically in the surveillance photos.” ASU Profs. Alana Taylor and Cleve Webber organized an exhibition to share the artwork with the broader community at ASU’s Warren-Britt Galleries. An expanded version of the Portraits of Courage Exhibition is currently on display at the Civil Rights Memorial Center (CRMC) at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) featuring work by ASU art faculty and local Montgomery artists.
