Hosted by Rhodes College, the purpose of the Crossroads to Freedom site is to promote and support conversations about the civil rights era in Memphis focusing on the years 1950 to 1970. The site has some very fine oral histories, newspaper articles from the Memphis World, and the transcripts of the 1962 Hearings of the Commission on Civil Rights. Visitors can dive right in by clicking on the "Collections" tab. Here they will find all of the available oral history interview videos from the project, along with a special set of interviews related to the importance of musicians in the struggle for civil rights. Also, users can use the "Browse" tab to look over the documents here by date, name, place, and subject.
