Welcome to the Mapping Civil Rights History Portal!

Through the links below and to the right, you can explore the history of seminal events and locations in the American Civil Rights Movement. We believe that by combining maps, pictures and historical explanations, we can enhance your understanding of the Movement that shaped America and brought it closer to its promise as a land where all people are created equal and can pursue their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

By clicking on the pins on each location on the map, you will see electronic visualizations that allow exploration of recreated landscapes, hyperlinked stories, and photographs of those involved in the Movement.
