Relive the Movement

"The Civil Rights Movement" is an interactive Web site that explores the people, places, and events of the powerful period in America's history. The struggle for racial equality by African Americans was not an easy one, and many brave people lost their lives to the cause.

The Relive the Movement section of the site allows you to learn about the Civil Rights Movement. Here, you can read various articles about the people, places, and events of the time period. The titles of the articles are on the left side of the screen. Click on any of them to read the information and view pictures. For the most part, articles are presented in chronological order.

After reading the articles, please visit the Interact and Virtual Museum sections to leave your reflections of the Movement. We welcome any contributions that you may have, whether they are drawings, writings, etc.
