Where should long civil rights movement scholarship go from here?
We at the Southern Oral History Program are in the midst of planning our next interviewing initiatives and are drawing on what we learned at the conference to help us make sure that the first-person sources we create will be useful to scholars and will help to push the field forward in productive ways. So we are especially eager to have your suggestions along those lines. Our plan in general is to do a few more interviews on our themes of race and the public schools and economic justice campaigns and then to turn to issues of women and gender. In the light of your own work and your sense of where the field is going, which topics, people, stories should we pursue?
