Help us transform a former place of hate into a place of hope, remembrance, and peace.
JOIN THE OPENING DOORS LEADERSHIP CIRCLE TODAY
Over the past year, a multi-disciplined team of world-class educators, civil rights leaders, historians, and architects have worked together on a design true to our goal: creating an experience that connects the narrative of the Echo Theater to the struggle for social justice and civil rights in American history.
We have launched our Opening Doors Campaign to raise the remaining $6M to complete the transformation of the Echo Theater, create innovative exhibitions and programming - and open our doors to the public.
We need you to help transform a former place of hate into a place of hope, remembrance, and peace.
The Opening Doors Leadership Circle is comprised of community leaders and strong advocates for building positive change. The support of this advisory group will open the doors to the new Echo Theater.
All giving levels will receive prominent recognition in the Echo Museum and Education Center. Leadership Circle members will be recognized inmany ways, including logo placement on The Echo Project’s website, newsletter, as well as in-person and online special events.
