Voices of Civil Rights

"AARP, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR), and the Library of Congress have teamed up to collect and preserve personal accounts of America's struggle to fulfill the promise of equality for all. We invite you to explore this site, a tribute to those who were a part of the civil rights experience and to the continuing quest for equality."

"Read extraordinary stories of hope and courage by ordinary people and experience civil rights history as it's never been told before.

Discover how far the nation still has to go to achieve equality in this essay by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights’ executive director.

Hear how civil rights veterans like Eleanor Holmes Norton, a woman at the forefront of various social causes, are connecting the past with the present."
