The Board of Consultants is an interdisciplinary, cross-functional Board that advises the LCRM Project team. Engaged in the study of the long civil rights movement as scholars, authors, teachers, librarians, and information technology experts, Board members represent key Project stakeholders and will play an important role in the ongoing evolution of our plans. The current Board of Consultants was formed over the summer of 2009 and will serve until December 2010.
