In continuing recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, here are several exhibitions which might be of interest:
- At the Library of Congress website, The Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Long Struggle for Freedom. The physical exhibit is in the Thomas Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress, but the online exhibit features a great deal of multimedia, including interviews with author Toni Morrison, Tuskegee Airman Lee Archer, and NAACP lawyer Benjamin Hooks.
- Also at the Library of Congress website is Voices of Civil Rights, a solely online exhibition focusing on oral histories of individuals of the Civil Rights Movement.
- Closer to home, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum recently concluded an exhibit on Civil Rights in Cartoons and Comics. You can also learn about their newest exhibits here.
