Civil Rights Movement Veterans Website
Submissions Policy

If you were a Movement veteran active with CORE, NAACP, SCLC, SNCC, SCEF, SSOC, Delta Ministry, Deacons for Defense, a local Movement organization, or some other group active in the Southern Freedom Movement, we ask you to contribute yourself. Please add your name, history, and testimony to the Civil Rights Movement Veterans Roll Call. And if the spirit moves, add a tribute for one who has moved on.

Veterans of the Southern Freedom Movement who have listed themselves on the Veterans Roll Call are encouraged to submit materials for posting on this site. Please email your stories, commentaries, poems, tributes, photographs and so on, to webmaster@crmvet.org. We also welcome the submission of photos, documents, and tributes from people who are not Movement veterans. We welcome submissions under the following conditions:

• To be listed in the Roll Call, you must be a Movement veteran.

• We're flexible about length, but we can't publish books or entire pamphlets. As a general rule of thumb, 10 pages is normally about the maximum except in special circumstances.

• We cannot pay you anything to use your materials. We are a non- commercial educational site, all of our labor is donated, all expenses are paid out of our own pockets. We have no outside funding of any kind.

• Use of Materials. By submitting materials to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license, without payment. And with the right to sublicense (to other Site users and people and entities who help to administer or maintain the Site), to view, post, copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly display and otherwise use your submitted materials on our website. "Non-exclusive" means that you retain rights to the work you send us, and you can use that work elsewhere, however you wish.

• Use of your name. By adding your name to the Roll Call and otherwise submitting to us materials that identify you, you grant us the non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right, without payment but with the right to sublicense (to other Site users and people and entities who help to administer or maintain the Site), to use your name, nickname and other personal attributes, including your likeness and image (for photographs), autograph (for signed documents) and biographical information (for personal histories and testimonies), on our website.

• If you are submitting documents (such as a letter or article) whose copyright is owned by someone other than yourself, you are responsible for obtaining the rights and consents that are necessary for us to use the materials.

• Our site is for documenting what we did and experienced in the Southern Freedom Movement, what it meant to us, what we learned from it, and how we view it today. We want our site to contribute to rebuilding the beloved community that we once shared. Therefore, personal attacks on named individuals, or carrying on old vendettas, is not appropriate.

Please see below for information about the formatting of submissions.

• Photos. Photos and images of Movement pins should be emailed to us as attachments in JPG format or good quality reproductions on paper.

• Documents. Documents in PDF format can be emailed to us as attachments. Unfortunately, we cannot use documents that are in JPG format. If you scan the document please set the scanner for 200 dpi or higher if you know how to do that (if you don't know, don't worry about it). If you have paper documents and are unable to get them scanned to PDF format, please photocopy them and send them by postal mail to:
