On the occasion of the Center’s 5th Anniversary, the CSSJ will be organizing the conference: Race, Memory and Memorialization. This conference will examine the activism behind the Southern Freedom Movement and critically question the way the Civil Rights Movement has been represented through memorials and exhibitions. The conference will raise the question- how do you create a memorial/marker/museum in the context of racial injustices of the present moment?
