Wall of Tolerance

Visitors at the Wall of Tolerance
Using interactive touch screens, visitors can find their names as they flow down the 20-by-40-foot Wall of Tolerance.
The Wall of Tolerance records the names of people who have pledged to take a stand against hate, injustice and intolerance.

Those who place their names on the wall make a commitment to work in their daily lives for justice, equality and human rights - the ideals for which the martyrs of the Civil Rights Movement died.

Visitors who have already taken the pledge as a part of the Center's National Campaign for Tolerance can find their names using a control panel. Those who wish to add their names to the Wall of Tolerance have an opportunity to take the pledge during their visit.
