Freedom Now! An Archival Project of Tougaloo College and Brown University 

Freedom Now! website   http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/FreedomNow/ 

STG lead(s): Kerri Hicks, Julia Flanders

STG worked with the faculty and students to design a set of metadata for the documents, and to help them apply it. We then implemented the the website, which includes topic essays written by the students, and its underlying database.  

During 2002, Susan Smulyan and James Campbell, together with students and colleagues at Brown and its sister school Tougaloo College did research in the Tougaloo archives to gather materials documenting the Civil Rights movement. They subsequently gathered materials at Brown and Tougaloo documenting the relationship between the two schools. Once they had collected their materials, they wanted to publish them in digital form, so as to share them as widely as possible.
