Civil Rights Digital Library Relaunches
From Digital Library of Georgia:
The Civil Rights Digital Library, a premier online compilation of digital civil rights content, is relaunching with a new look and thousands of additional pieces of history.
This project brings together more than 200 libraries, archives, and museums to provide free online access to historical materials documenting the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. These collaborative partnerships are the bedrock of this national project.

“Since its launch in 2008, the Civil Rights Digital Library has played a meaningful role in advancing the understanding of America’s civil rights activism at a time when upticks in racially motivated violence and crime and the erosion of voting rights have attached more urgency than ever to issues of equality, equity, human dignity, and freedom,” said Barbara McCaskill, CRDL director of the Civil Rights Digital Library and professor at University of Georgia.
