John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage, Carriage House Gallery The Civil Rights Movement (The Southern Freedom Movement) was a catalyst for social change in America disrupting the legal system of Jim Crow and racial segregation. It was composed of ordinary Black women, men and children, many of whom placed their lives on the line to fight the laws of racial segregation. In this exhibition we tell the story of the relationship between the Black organizing tradition and the movement. We trace the tradition from the moment of emancipation until the presidential campaigns of Jesse Jackson. It is a story not often told, yet it is a necessary one for our times.
