Voices of the Civil Rights Movement

Voices of the Civil Rights Movement

A resource that honors the legacy and impact of the men and women who championed racial equity in the United States. The project launched in 2013 as “His Dream, Our Stories” to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech became a rallying cry for the movement. Since then, Voices of the Civil Rights Movement has grown to more than 18 hours of firsthand accounts, historical moments and stories submitted by the public. It is free to the general public & available across a variety of platforms. Learn more.
