About the Project
About/Summary: #ATLStudentMovement is an oral history project that preserves the life experiences of Atlanta University Center students and advocates who helped integrate public facilities and schools in Atlanta through sit-ins, economic boycotts, legal challenges, and student protests as part of the larger American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. This research project also contains an educational outreach component, in the form of standards-aligned curriculum guides in development for high school English/Language Arts classes.
