On September 17, 1980, the church was also added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1993, a team of surveyors for the Historic American Buildings Survey executed archival quality measured drawings of the church for the Library of Congress. Because of its historic value on a national level in the moral crusade of civil rights, the church was officially designated a National Historic Landmark on February 20, 2006 by the United States Department of the Interior. On May 24, 2013, President Barack Obama posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal to the four young girls who were killed in the church bombing in recognition of the fact that the girls' deaths served as a major catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement and invigorated a momentum ensuring the signing into passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
