The Civil Rights History Project: Survey of Collections and RepositoriesCrossroads to freedomRepository: Rhodes College Collection Description (CRHP): This digital archive includes a number of collections on various aspects of the civil rights movement, including the role of educators, the role of legal and political figures, and school desegregation in Hoxie, Arkansas. In addition, documents on the Ku Klux Klan are included. The focus is the civil rights movement in Memphis, Tennessee. Most of the originals from the collection reside at the University of Memphis, the Memphis Public Library, Rhodes College, Hill Foundation, Inc., and private collections. The website also includes approximately 120 original interviews of Memphis residents. Collection Description (Extant): Crossroads to Freedom is a collaborative effort to answer the question "How do we as a community, in Memphis, Tennessee, work together to preserve and understand our cultural heritage?" Many institutions and individuals in Memphis are dedicated to this task. The Crossroads team collects and makes accessible primary materials dating from about 1950-1970 that can support conversations about the impact of the past on our community today. We also provide technical and organizational support for preservation of Memphis historical and cultural materials by working with individuals, neighborhoods and cultural heritage organizations.
