The CRMA Vimeo Channel provides free live-streaming of films and videos about the Freedom Movement of the 1950s-1960s.
The films and videos in our Vimeo channel are grouped into "collections" (or "showcases") that reflect our "up-from-below" and "inside-out" approach to documenting our history. All of them were either created by Freedom Movement veterans (or their immediate families), or were created by others but are substantially about Movement veterans, or were created with significant input from veterans.
