Alabama documents of the Civil Rights Movement
http://www.archives.state.al.us/ts.html
Many of the major events which defined the modern Civil Rights Movement took place in Alabama during the 1950s and 1960s. Concerted efforts to guarantee African Americans equal access to public and private transportation, schools, voting booths, economic opportunities, and housing caused tremendous social turmoil all over the South, where legal discrimination against black Americans was most pronounced. An excellent web site for teacher resources related to the Civil Rights Movement.
