Caesars Palace Times Square – the joint bid from SL Green, Caesars Entertainment, JAY-Z’s Roc Nation, and Live Nation to bring a state-of-the-art gaming and entertainment destination to 1515 Broadway in Manhattan’s Broadway theater district – has announced new details for yet another deal-sweetening effort to win people to their cause: a $15 million commitment via their partnership with the Civil Rights Foundation to support the buildout of the Museum of Civil Rights, a new civil rights museum which will be located in Manhattan.

The proposed Museum of Civil Rights would be a multicultural center located in the heart of New York City and dedicated to the ongoing struggle for equality.
