Background and History of the Project

Revised in 2023....

ABOUT THE ROCHESTER BLACK FREEDOM ONLINE PROJECT

This project serves as a permanent resource for continuing conversation, learning and research around Rochester's role in civil rights history. We also hope the site will identify other participants. The Department seeks collections of personal or organizational papers, images, and ephemera related to Rochester's black freedom experience in the 1960s and '70s – especially materials related to the riots and the city's recovery.
