Teachers in the Movement
The American civil rights movement has been examined from many angles, and one of the more extensive archives of regional civil rights scholarship has been compiled by The Foot Soldier Project for Civil Rights Studies at the University of Georgia. The Foot Soldier Project, an oral history and film documentary endeavor, chronicles the lives and stories of unknown and unsung activists of the civil rights movement.
Derrick P. Alridge, a founder and co-director of the Foot Soldier Project, has now joined the Curry School faculty in the social foundations of education program. He is gearing up for an undertaking that will combine his scholarly interests in civil rights studies and African American education with the history of his new home state. Read More
