The MDNHA Civil Rights Heritage Archive has one overarching theme: authentic storytelling from storytellers’ lived experiences. This digital archive exists because several community storytellers trusted us to document and share their experiences. We thank them for their time and communication. Their honest insights made this project possible.

This website is an ongoing project commissioned by the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area and Delta Center for Culture and Learning at Delta State University. Our work was made possible by the guidance and patience of the staff and several community partners.
