Primary sources needed: 1961 Freedom Rides
I am working on an upcoming documentary for public broadcasting focusing on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1961 Freedom Rides. Please be in touch with me if you can share contemporary primary sources--diaries, letters, photos, notes, personal or official. What treasures do you have involving the Freedom Rides and the civil rights movement of the time? A public repository will be created as a result of our efforts. Many thanks!

AHA Task Force on Historians with Disabilities
Graduate study in history is arduous for all students. Graduate students with disabilities face distinctive issues. The AHA Task Force on Historians with Disabilities believes that historians who themselves understand disability experiences firsthand could aid such students in how to deal with disability-related issues in graduate historical studies and the development of their careers. If you are interested in mentoring a graduate student with a disability(ies), contact Paul Longmore at longmore@sfsu.edu. The Task Force will keep all information you provide strictly confidential.
