New to the AAPB: The Voices of the Southern Civil Rights Movement Exhibit
Featuring television and radio programs from the 1950s and 1960s, this exhibit presents historic testimonies from movement participants, telling the complex history of integrating the segregated South and achieving full citizenship rights for African Americans.

americanarchive.orgVoices from the Southern Civil Rights Movement | American Archive of Public BroadcastingVoices from the Southern Civil Rights Movement presents educational and noncommercial television and radio programs from the 1950s and 1960s that offer historic testimonies – in interviews, speeches, documentaries, panel discussions, and on-the-spot news reports – from many movement participants, both well-known and unknown. National leaders, local leaders, community organizers, students, clergy, lawyers, educators, academics, writers, and even a comedian and a documentary filmmaker relate often riveting stories that document a range of individual and group experiences and perspectives. The exhibit presents accounts from a variety of locales, each a distinct piece of the complex history of the struggle to integrate the segregated South and achieve full citizenship rights for African Americans.The original Voices from the Southern Civil Rights Movement exhibit, launched in 2015 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, consisted of radio programs that had been broadcast as the historical events they covered were taking place. In 2024, we have expanded Voices to include National Educational Television (NET) programs about the Southern Civil Rights Movement from the 1960s to comprise a visual component of the exhibit. Kenneth Alexander Campbell, an intern in the 2020 Library of Congress/Howard University Archives, History, and Heritage Advanced (AHHA) Internship Program, curated the update. Following his internship, Kenneth, an accomplished documentary film artist, received a Masters of Fine Arts in Cinematic Arts from Howard University, taught graduate courses in film history and African cinema at Howard, served as Impact Producer on the acclaimed documentary MLK/FBI, and joined the Department of Mass Communications at North Carolina Central University, his alma mater, as an assistant professor. Kenneth passed away on April 19, 2024. We dedicate this exhibit to his memory. In a blog post about his AHHA internship, Kenneth discussed the significance of the NET programs we have added to Voices from the Southern Civil Rights Movement:
Before moving to Washington, I became involved with the SNCC Critical Oral History Project at Duke University, back home in North Carolina. This project documented the experience of veteran members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee of the American Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s, which later evolved into the Black Power Movement. My personal involvement with that intergenerational, face-to-face, personal exchange deeply affected my understanding of the history of the people of this country…
This AHHA research experience has further expanded my understanding of the history the people of this country - and the incalculable impact that public broadcasting can have on how our history unfolds. The long-form work of NET Journal demonstrates what an effective vehicle cinéma vérité and journalistic documentary can be. The “Realities” of the series Public Broadcast Laboratory provide a robust visual landscape of faces to replace the opaque and cliché terms “the public” or “the masses.” And the series Of People and Politics often delves much deeper into the nuances of the public discourse around voting rights and the transition to human rights than I ever expected.
NET created a profoundly unique moment in broadcast history. And it documented a profoundly unique moment in American history. But perhaps more importantly, it demonstrated the potential of the camera to be a highly effective tool for broadcasting the densely rich visual history of this land.
Public Broadcasting: noun - Television and radio programs broadcast to provide information, advice, or entertainment to the public without seeking profit.
But it's also so much more than that.
