Rhodes College

Rhodes College will digitize and make available on the Web two African American newspapers and 1200 photographs, letters, and other documents relating to the Civil Rights movement in Memphis, Tennessee, and the mid-south. Researchers will conduct oral history interviews of people involved in the movement and will develop an innovative means of searching and browsing the content in an open-source repository. A coalition of community and educational partners will identify sources of content, create curricula, and help evaluate the project.
