Columbia SC 63

In South Carolina’s capital city, courageous student activists, attorneys, and civil rights organizations waged a campaign to transform their community. Facing stiff opposition, these freedom fighters took action and forever changed a city, state, and nation. Many of Columbia's pivotal moments and landmark decisions have been forgotten, and many of its stories have never been heard. A complete rendering of South Carolina's Civil Rights Movement and its impact on the quest for democracy and social justice does not exist, and the Columbia 63 project gathers images and testimony to help ensure that a more accurate and expansive history becomes available to all.
