The Civil Rights Movement

2001
The Civil Rights Movement is an interactive Web site that explores the people, places, and events of the powerful period in America's history. The struggle for racial equality by African Americans was not an easy one, and many brave people lost their lives to the cause. At the site, visitors can learn about the Civil Rights Movement, interact with the sites features, and leave their own reflections as to what happened during that time period. It is our hope that visitors will be able to walk away from the site with a better understanding of the Movement. For in the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
