Priscilla Hancock Cooper
Interim president and CEO, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute

"Priscilla Hancock Cooper may have recently stepped into the role of Interim president and CEO at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, but her involvement with the institution dates back nearly 25 years. Cooper began working for the organization as a copywriter and education consultant, and over the years she's been able to use her passion for the written word and sharing African-American history through literature to contribute to the organization and others in the community. In addition to developing programs for BCRI, Cooper has taught creative writing to incarcerated girls and has used Alabama State Council on the Arts fellowships to create stage performances."
