How to Use This Website

This website is about the Civil Rights Movement of 1951-1968. We also call it the "Freedom Movement. It was a period of protests and political struggles thoughout America to to end racial segregation, win freedom from race-based discrimination, oppression, and exploitation, and to gain voting rights for all regardless of race.

Almost everything on this site was written by a veteran of that Freedom Movement. This is where we who were there tell it like it was in our own words.
