New civil rights center in Atlanta gets secretive

It seemed like a straightforward question for one of downtown Atlanta’s newest attractions, particularly one that has gotten backing from the city.

After a year and a half in operation and with the recent naming of a new CEO, how many people have visited the National Center for Civil and Human Rights this year?

“The (center’s) board is not releasing that information,” Judith Montier, a spokeswoman for the nonprofit center, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She declined to say what prompted the decision or provide guidance on whether it suggested the center is struggling.
