The Civil Rights History Project: Survey of Collections and RepositoriesOral history project of the National Archive of Clinical Legal EducationRepository: Catholic University of America. Columbus School of Law. National Archive of Clinical Legal Education Collection Description (CRHP): The focus of the Oral History Project is the creation of modern clinical legal education in the United States, which project staff date from the early 1960s with the creation of the Council on Legal Clinics, funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation. Therefore, the content of most of the interviews is principally the work of these men and women to establish clinical legal education in their respective institutions. Yet, several of the interviews deal with civil rights and the civil rights movement and cover a number of aspects of these topics. These aspects include the southern civil rights movement, race riots, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the Black Panther Party, housing discrimination, and the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. See the document uploaded to this record for more details about the civil-rights-related oral histories in this collection. Collection Description (Extant): Collection includes interviews of professors of clinical legal history conducted by Professor J. P. Ogilvy, April Land, and Zona Hostetler. Access Copy Note: As of Sept. 2010, project staff members are in the process of converting all of the recordings (which are in a variety of original formats, including mDV, VHS, S-VHS, and Sony DVCam) to DVDs. Many of the transcripts are also being reviewed for accuracy. As the transcripts are polished, project staff members will post them to the website.
