This project serves as a permanent resource for continuing conversation, learning and research around Rochester's role in civil rights history. The Department seeks collections of personal or organizational papers, images, and ephemera related to Rochester's black freedom experience in the 1960s and '70s – especially materials related to the uprising of 1964 and the city's recovery.
