Description
Online collection of digital materials related to civil rights in Arkansas. Materials include documents, articles, letters, advertising, and photographs. Topics range from early civil rights legislation, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, work for the rights of women and the rights of homosexuals, opposition by the Ku Klux Klan and White Citizens' Councils, the 1957 Little Rock Central High School integration crisis, integration of the state's colleges and universities, the 1919 race riot in the town of Elaine, and civil rights demonstrations including local demonstrations and the 1961 Freedom Rides.
While the great bulk of the materials maintained on the civil rights Web site is held by the UA Libraries Special Collections Department, other institutions around the state also contributed materials--including the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies at the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock; the Riley-Hickingbotham Library at Ouachita Baptist University; Ottenheimer Library at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock; the Torreyson Library at the University of Central Arkansas; the Arkansas History Commission; and the Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives, Washington, Arkansas.
The site also contains a timeline of the history of Arkansas and civil rights efforts in the state, five posters on Civil Rights in Arkansas, and ten lesson plans designed for teachers of middle school students.
The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata.
