The Phoenix Circle embodies the spirit of resilience and transformation. Your involvement ensures the Museum continues to inspire change, honor legacy, and advance civil and human rights for generations to come.
The Phoenix Circle draws its name from the heart of our museum—the Lorraine Motel, where Dr. King last stood. Like a Phoenix, rising from the ashes, the Museum is transformed into a space of hope, education, and justice. This Circle embodies that spirit of resilience, transformation, and the enduring pursuit of civil and human rights.
Your involvement is critical to our mission. By joining the Phoenix Circle, you become part of a distinguished community driving meaningful change.
Give one-time or monthly to qualify and join a dedicated group of leaders shaping the Museum’s future.
