This page was created to organize many of the existing collections or materials relevant to our project regardless of media type, though most of the archives currently posted consist of images. Its goal is to add nuance to general claims made and relevant evidence to support a lot of the historical evidence found elsewhere and on the website. This is useful to anyone who is interested in analyzing the clashes of Black students and administration throughout the history of the US through first degree sources.
